luzulaI just watched the Eurovision Song Contest with a bunch of friends, and we had a lot of fun mocking the various contributions. Among other things, there were half-naked men in glittery Greek warrior outfits.
On a more serious note, I'm having trouble with my voice again. I held an hour-long seminar on Wednesday, and I'm still feeling the effects of that. (For those new to my journal, I'm a mathematician, and I currently have a post-doctoral position at a university. I got phonasthenia from too much teaching this fall.) The thought struck me that I might actually never be able to teach again, and then I'd have to leave university and do something else entirely. This would be kind of a pity, because I like teaching. But there's also part of me that feels like it's a teeny, tiny bit liberating. I wonder what I'd do.
But anyway, I have one and a half years left of my research-only, no-teaching position, and I'm working with a speech therapist again, so I have some time to figure out if it'll work. (If you're wondering how I can podfic--I never do that more than 10 minutes a day, and I am much more in control of that situation, compared to teaching.)
For now, please comment at the LJ entry.
