lizzybennetConnor is still feeling poorly. He's gone through more than 10 diapers today. I finally got the puke laundry cleaned up, so thankfully that chore is done. Since he threw up in his car seat, I got to dismantle and wash that also. I hadn't realized how filthy that thing had gotten. It looks practically brand new again.
I just found out that I'll have a new professor in the fall. I was really looking forward to the "Modern China" class I've signed up for in the fall. The professor who was slotted to teach it is one of my favorites. He knows that Chris is also pursuing a Chinese history degree, and we had had conversations about it. Today I received an email informing me that my favorite professor is too busy to teach "Modern China" and as a result it will be taught by a new hire. This new professor just had his dissertation defense in February of this year (I googled him). He is a JAPANESE history scholar. I know, I know. It is the intellectual snob in me who even cares that this matters. The truth is that he did his dissertation on a very interesting topic: pirates- the pirates that sailed between Asia and the west coast of North America. So, while I am disappointed not to be in class with my favorite professor I know I should also give this new guy a chance.
Book club tonight!!
