fenderlove: James Marsters with Romeo and Juliet quote over it. (Default)

I went for a meeting with my professor about my biggest, most important research paper of the year. She was very supportive and said that it was an extremely strong first draft. She encouraged me to present the final draft to one of the regional history conferences (a stepping stone to getting published nationally). Also, I found out that I'll be teaching a U.S. history course next semester. U.S. history is not one of my strengths, but I can polish up during the winter break. :D

I also had a physical the other day, and (besides being overweight) I am very healthy! No signs of diabetes, normal glucose levels, very good blood pressure (despite all the stress), no thyroid problems, and normal levels of "bad" cholesterol. The only thing I need to work on is getting my levels of good cholesterol up.

I'm trying to become a better cook in my spare time. I took homemade cupcakes (my Halloween ones) to one of my classes, and everyone thought they were delicious (one fellow said, "You shouldn't go into history. You should open a bakery!"), and that made me feel pretty good. Tonight's dinner is poulet étouffée sur un lit de riz (chicken étouffée on a bed of rice).
