It’s 95 and sunny, but fall officially starts for me today as another semester begins. I’m taking two classes this semester: U.S. Pop Culture (an interdisciplinary Humanities/English class) and Teaching College Composition. I will thoroughly enjoy the first; the second scares the hell out of me . I know I can write, I’m just not sure if I can teach someone else to write. Time will tell. Or, rather, sixteen weeks will tell.
The reading list for both classes is more than manageable, especially after the eighteen books I had to read during the six week summer semester. I still can’t quite believe I did that to myself (meaning taking two literature classes concurrently during a summer semester), but I lived to tell the tale and-- I have to say-- if I can survive that, I can survive anything. Anything academic, anyway.
Let the semester begin…

Sex. Books. Movies. Travel. Politics. Feminism. Academia. Insomnia. Rants. Raves. Chocolate. Lots of chocolate. Some names have been changed, some stories have been embellished. Thanks for stopping by and beware of the dog. Read more...
