Just back from another 16 hour day. On Mondays I leave Manchester at 5am, drive to Oxford, spend the day learning to be an osteopath and treating patients, and then drive back to Manchester. After picking Luis up, it’s gone 9pm when I get in.
I like Mondays though. With the help of enough coffee to keep a narcoleptic tree sloth awake in a neurology lecture, I even enjoy the drive there and back. It’s quiet time to listen to some new music on my ipod, a podcast or two, do some thinking, and with my trusty dictaphone sort through some ideas and plans for the week ahead.
I’ve been particularly enjoying listening to the TED podcasts. They’re short, fun, bite sized chunks of inspiration and information by some of the top thinkers and doers in numerous different fields. I’ll write some thoughts on a few of my favourites in a future post or two.
Now I’m off to watch LOST until the caffeine wears off!
Hey Rosi,
First off; I’m a member of SBG Stockholm, and I am a avid subscriber of your blog.. =)
It will be interesting to hear your comments on selected TED talks. My personal favorite is Malcolm Gladwell’s talk on spaghetti sauce. IMO: postmodernism explained through a very entertaining story!
Not to sound weird but I was wondering if you had ever taught on the college level with your PhD?
Lost has been great.
“What lies in the shadow of the statue?”, the lady with the unpronouncable name from the Lone Gunmen asks us.
Oh, and is Dan the son of “Ellie” and Charles Widmore?
Shane – not really, beyond working as a post-grad teaching assistant while I was doing my PhD.
LOST is good… I’ve got a few episodes to catch up on still!
I remember being an unpaid manservant….uh I mean TA during grad school…lol.
