Jan. 8th, 2016 07:49 pmThis week wasn't terribly long, but it was pretty intense yesterday and today. The dental public is finally getting its mitts on the new curriculum map next week, which means I've spent the last two days tweaking it. I've sent it to the instructional technologist, who's putting it in a newsletter, three times in the last two days and I've given up telling him that this is absolutely, positively, I mean it, the FINAL final version. Add that to the new (interim?) course director for the oral surgery course coming in yesterday so I could walk him through the course, and it got sorely tempting to say "I don't care if I end up having to lose twelve pounds, this calls for ice cream." But there wasn't any ice cream. But I'm not trying hard enough to lose the ten pounds I should be concentrating on.
Today at least we had an office Powerball pool, so I got to distract myself thinking about what I would do with at least ten million dollars. So far it boils down to "spend two on acquiring and updating the building I live in, give away five, and figure out what to do with the rest if the situation ever arises, which it won't". But it was fun to dream about for a little while.
Speaking of things to do with money, I forgot that Iceland is in my self-imposed travel distance limit (eight hours one way by airplane), and it's been on the list, so I think maybe I'll go there in May or so.
