Times are a'changin'

Sure thing! You can't stop time.

In the last few weeks, I've seen a few changes.

(1) I've decided to participate in Nashville Teaching Fellows, in which I will teach secondary math in a Metro Nashville school. I am very excited and realized about this opportunity, but I am also slightly terrified by the enormity of this undertaking. I will be teaching math every day to teenagers! Wow!

(2) I've moved into the realm of professional climbing instruction and guiding. It's true! Within the last month, I have come on board with Nashville School of Climbing to provide beginning climbing instruction and guiding. I co-guided a day trip to Foster Falls for some high schoolers a few weeks ago. This week I conducted my first solo instruction as well for two ladies at the gym. I'm excited to continue sharing my love of climbing with others while improving my teaching methods.

(3) I've given into the status quo, and am happy to admit that Chacos have changed my life! I've worn them every day but one for two weeks, and they have already become my favorite shoes! Hooray for summer! I'm waiting for my Patagonia Baggies to come in to complete my summer wardrobe!

Cheers! Enjoy the spring and summer!
