Life

Not just a game anymore.

The gift that keeps on giving


Yesterday I taught a donation based community yoga class. This means that I didn't get paid to teach the class and anyone who attended paid on a donation basis only. I got to choose a local organization to which the proceeds would go. It was always between dogs or schools. I was heavily leaning towards dogs, but when I found out that local dog-focused non-profit organization  also used the funds to support small dogs, I decided to go with the schools.

We raised 170$ for 4J schools.

Damn, it feels good to give.

A Ballgown!



I really want a ball gown.

Along with an excuse to wear it.

I'm on to you

Today I got a weird call from a Durham phone number. The woman on the line told me she was given my name as a reference for "Laura Johnson". I promptly told her that I knew no Lauren Johnson. The women insisted that I was in fact listed as this person's reference on a job application.

WTF?

Identity Theft?
Info Fishing Scheme?
Idiot person with a fake resume?
Who knows?

Whatever it was, it was weird.

It's my half birthday!

Happy Half Birthday to me!





I'll dress like a PacNW hobo if I want...

Number Muncher




1. If you went to elementary school in the 90s, you most definitely played Number Munchers on an old school Mac desktop during computer class. I secretly hated this game as it was a game that only boys were good at (and I was slightly lacking in my math skills). I preferred the more skewed for strategy and intelligence, Oregon Trail.

2. Despite my tumultuous relationship with mathematics, I have become a Number Muncher of sorts as of late. I decided to keep a little data on my yoga teaching.



Here's what I got so far:

Since I graduated I've taught 40 classes, 622 people, averaging 16 people per class.

Since I'm also enrolled in a Statistics course this term, I imagine I will learn other amazing ways to munch my yoga numbers. I will use this to my advantage as I mean, median, mode, standard deviate, and chi square all over this mug!
