Classes are going OK. Having 90 students in one of my classes is a bit much. My PE course has been more fun compared to past years since it's easier for me to exercise with them. We are doing bowling activities next week so they are prepped to teach bowling if a school offers it.
DMACC is going OK too. My Monday night class fortunately is going well and everyone is receptive of the information. In the fall, I had a student that liked to argue with me almost every time we met about health information.
I am using the department's Exercise Clinic most Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. It's an interesting set-up. Students that want a career in exercise science or personal training work with people in the clinic. One of our graduate students works with myself and one of the secretaries. She's been my workout partner for about a month. She and I are younger than a lot of the participants and can handle more strenuous workouts. He's done a good job challenging us. We are doing more with plyometrics, medicine balls, kettle bells, etc. My coworker was injured this past week though. She's likely going to need an MRI to figure out if it's her patella or her ACL. Boxes jumps can be dangerous. I'm being selfish and hoping she can continue to attend the exercise session as having a workout buddy has been very helpful.
I've been somewhat keeping up with Netflix:
Boulevard: It is Robin William's last or close to last movie he made before he died. It was about a guy living a boring, married life and is secretly gay. It was interesting to see him in a serious role again. His acting was great but the movie itself was meh.
Foxcatcher: a true story about Olympic wrestling brothers and a nuts guy that tried to coach them. I didn't realize it was a true story until I started watching the movie and looked up some details online. It was disturbing to see the "coach's" mother issues and his psychiatric issues too.
The Divergent Series: Allegiant: I'm actually glad I didn't see this third movie of the trilogy in the theater. I'm told it deviates a lot from the actual book. It was an OK story but rather predictable from the get-go.
I still have "The Loft" to watch. It's about guys (married) that have an apartment they use for affairs and a dead woman ends up dead in the loft. A murder mystery usually turns out pretty decent.
I am starting "American Gothic" as well. It is a TV series that started in 1995. I remember liking it a lot as a kid and the early episodes are pretty decent since it touches on horror and the supernatural. I'll have five more discs in the future to go through all the seasons.
I guess that's it for now!
"American Gothic" should be good. I'd be interested in seeing that one again. Boulevard sounds interesting too - the premise of a gay guy in a heterosexual marriage. I think I remember hearing about The Loft. Tony and I just watched "Victor Frankenstein," which was good for first 75%. I didn't like how it ended.
ReplyDeleteYour schedule seems quite full. The student who liked to argue with you -- now just imagine half the class full students who like to argue. That's what I feel like my classroom is like. I'm constantly/coincidentally teaching and arguing. Good job with the work-outs.
