I don’t know if that’s a good title. It sounds more like I have thoughts about summer, whether that’s the sweltering heat and humidity or just not being in school.

Reflections on Being a Student Again
I’m about halfway through (maybe a bit more) my online class and though it’s not the first class I’ve taken online, it’s definitely the most academic one since finishing my degrees.

It’s actually October…
I wish I could say that my time away from this blog has been oh so exciting and therefore, I have a lot to tell. I wish I could say that. It hasn’t been uneventful, by any means. School has been a lot more involved. For the first time, I’m teaching three different literature classes … Continue reading
