 - I'm taking ENGL 632 this semester. This should be kind of fun - so if it isn't, I should drop it. Plan to do the readings on Sundays.

Not going to think about the papers-I'd-like-to-write category right now.

... I have no idea how anyone does all this and teaches, too. Worried about returning to campus next year!

weekly check-in

A few quick days in Seattle - much much too short and I hope to spend some time there later this semester. Back in Chico yesterday.  Tons to do, but excited to do them. I've heard back from Teachers College Press that they're interested and will send the book out for review... which suddenly makes things feel a lot more real and I'm excited to move ahead. It won't be in vain!
