Genetics Board Game In Class, Family Dinner with a Friend, Puking on the Hash, and a Chance to Have Meaningful Relationship Talks on Vacation
My students finished and presented projects on cell signaling this Thursday. The next unit, Genetics, is likely to involve a lot of lecture. So in an effort to make things more interesting and shaking things up I am experimenting with another biology board game called "Genotype", which I am using to teach Mendelian genetics. I used a board game called "Cytosis" to teach cell biology in the past. This game is made by the same people so it should be good.
On Friday night I went to my friend from work, Khashi's, house for dinner with his family. His wife cooked a lovely dinner and I enjoyed our conversations. I skipped the gym so will need to make up my workout today.
Faye reached out to me on Friday. After not hearing from her since Tuesday I was not sure she would talk to me again. I asked her how she wanted to proceed and she signaled a desire to work things out. I told her I would reach out to her Saturday after the hash.
The hash on Saturday was fun. It had just rained so it was muddy and slippery but we had gone somewhere new and the trail was very interesting. I face planted into the mud, which was pretty funny. I made the mistake of over consuming alcohol with a cold and on an empty stomach and ended up getting pretty sick before we boarded the bus back to Shenzhen. The up side of this was that I had nothing besides alcohol to regurgitate and had thus emptied my tank of all the alcohol I had consumed. I passed out on the bus and the hash covered my cab ride home. I had sobered up enough to talk to Faye by the time I got back to my apartment.
Faye and I talked for a couple hours on the phone. It was our first time talking on the phone. We sorted out what went wrong and talked about how we can proceed in a healthy way.
We talked again on the phone today. We are still going to HK and Macau together. We both hope to use this as a chance to have deeper conversations about our love languages, personalities, attachment styles, hopes and dreams, and relationship goals.
Today I also ordered groceries, meal prepped, got dinner with a friend at a place called the Boat House. The Boat House is a pretty neat restaurant with guitars and other instruments on the wall that you can play while you wait for dinner. After dinner I did gym make-up but forgot my gym shorts so only took a swim and will have to catch up on my ab workout on Tuesday.
