Hell Freezes Over: Kim Becomes Exercise Freak

This just in from our Hell office, record low temperatures have been noticed in the outer rings of Hell because Kim has signed up to become an aerobics instructor. She will take several workshops in early 2004 which will allow her to instruct people on how to aerobicize. Spokespeople from Kim's office said that it will not be her only profession; just a sideline that keeps her busy while she also finishes her doctoral work. Those who remember Kim saying at times in the past how much she hated working out were stunned at the news. "She used to always say the only reason we would ever see her running was if someone was chasing her or if the ice cream truck was in the neighborhood" said one interviewee.

Yes, it's true. I have officially signed up on the afaa website to become a certified aerobics instructor. The classes are in January and early February. I'm waiting for my "study guides" to come in the mail. I'm fairly sure I can handle the content. (insert sarcastic look here). But it's cool. I was telling Andrew that I can handle two things from the 1. fitness 2. dissertation 3. teaching thing at once. So since I'm not teaching, I can handle the other two. This semester has seen me fall off a bit from the aerobics thing, as well, and I think it's more important at this point to keep healthy and write than teach students how to write a thesis statement (something others can do for me while I'm busy.) You just wait till I'm all buff. (Buff-er). (Buff-est).
