It is now time the I begin extending ki toward a possible trip to Argentina this summer. It is a grant for 5 weeks, everything paid. I had to apply. I am rapidly becoming the most well-traveled person I know. More beach sand for
shrijani! Parts of the itinerary include Buenos Aires and a national park that is a santuary for condors. I am writing the letters that are supposed to convince the committee that I should be picked to go. My main reason is that my Master's Project will involve an interdisciplinary unit in (environmental) science and Spanish. I hope the committee can sense my excitement when they read my proposal.
In other news, I think I have carpal tunnel syndrome, but am not sure and am too cheap to go to a doctor. I am wearing a brace 24/7, which is what the doctor told both of my parents when they had carpal tunnel repetitive stress injury. I don't do a lot of anything on the computer, except mouse click and enter grades. I may be causing strain by grading too many papers or through martial arts. The wrist locks we do in aikido may be taking a toll, and the capoeira floor movements aren't helping. I want to be able to do hand stands, damnit!
Meanwhile, I wear the brace. I can still type, write, and lift weights with it. The brace doesn't much inhibit my beer drinking, either!
