Great Week!

I actually had a really awesome couple of days.

I managed to talk my supervisor into giving my husband some hours in my site, and she put him on the schedule for 36 hours in each of  the next 2 weeks! We both work christmas but it's a middle shift and we get double time.

The next day (12/15) my husband made me sweet potato pancakes for breakfast and we made dinner a date by trying out a new restaurant. Saigon is a Taiwanese and Japanese restaurant we read was West Palm Beach's best kept secret. Considering we ate for under 25 dollars and totally pigged out on great food I am inclined to agree! I had a lovely glass of plum wine and the sea food chowmein. We shared a piece of sushi featuring conch which was awesome cuz I've never had it! ( It's kind of chewy, but tasty.) The portions are huge and I had to take 3 quarters of my meal home which made lunch the next day awesome.

After dinner we stopped by the store to pick up some eggnog and rum. The clerk, who we think may be the owner, gave us a free bottle of champagne. I've never had it and Shane doesn't like it but neat! We stayed up late playing video games and eating ice cream. Chocolate cookie quarry for husband and spumoni for me!

Thursday continued on nicely with us making time to make it to the gym before I went to work. After my warm up my legs are still very tight so instead of running fallout i ran intervals. In total I ran 8 minutes at 4.7 miles per hour and walked 13 minutes at 3.7 miles per hour, all at a 1 percent incline. I've taken far too long of the gym and I know I always say I need to go back but I really really need to go back. 24hourfitness.com tracks your visit so you can see your trend. The first 2 months after we joined a gym I have reached 15 visit the month. In the last 4 months I have reached the 4 visit medal only once.

Star Trek Diplomas: All of them. I think.

Image
So... StarTrek.Com has released a Starfleet Academy Diploma.  I wanted to see if the design was supported by canon (because I'm a huge fact-check nerd) and in my quest collected what I think to be all the diploma designs officially used on the show. I'm still looking though, so if you find one I don't have here, please leave a comment! Confirmed authentic : Voyager epi "Non Sequitur". It appears to be the first time a diploma had been shown, if rabid Trekkers diligently duplicating it is any indication. If you register at the LCARSc site, you can download a free template to make your own! (ref: http://www.lcarsc.com/entry.php/34-Freebie-Friday-Starfleet-Diploma ) Confirmed authentic:  Enterprise : "Storm Front, Part II" Earlier in storyline, later in established canon.

De Groote Museum

 De Groote Museum (The Great Museum) is centered around the concept that everything is connected . It's part of the Artis Royal Zoo complex (like Micropia) but has a separate entrance and fee (included in the Museum Card).  The museum was closed for 75 years (not a typo!) and reopened in 2022. It used to be the  'Main Building' or 'Zoological Museum' for Artis. You can read more about it's scientific use at their website ! ARTIS honorary member and professor of Anatomy Willem Vrolik (1801-1863) gave lectures on the autopsies he performed on animals that had died in the zoo. He published the very first scientific description of various animal species. After the autopsy, the animals were prepared and ended up in the museum. At that time, ARTIS mainly wanted to collect and understand nature, in order to promote knowledge in an accessible way. The main hall has a nice area for rest (and maybe yoga). Everything needs rest! There's a soundscape that plays throug

Classroom Architect

One of my assignments for Intro to Tech for Educators was to design a classroom (to certain specifications). I'm posting it here A: Because it's neat.  B: In case the file upload goes wrong.  C: Look! I made it a science classroom! Look's like the one I had when I was in 7th grade science! Bangarang!
