Snow, Classes, Choices

Good late Sunday evening, I have been working on school work most of the weekend, but returned from the Legislative Assembly of the Faculty Union on Saturday. I am alway amazed by what I learn at these assemblies. I am amazed by the hard work and tremendous scholars that is conducted and are present atContinue reading “Snow, Classes, Choices”

Organized Randomness

Good afternoon from the Fog and Flame, I think I need a vacation. Many might say you just had one, but what I think I need is a working vacation, one where I can focus, in an uninterrupted manner. What might I do with such a “respite” of sorts? The first thing I would doContinue reading “Organized Randomness”

Writing, Organizing or Procrastinating

Hello from the Fog and Flame, I am in the Fog and Flame working on getting organized for the coming week. It is always a hope that I have my ducks-in-a-row, but to be honest, as my students will surely confirm, there are times I am more on top of things than other moments. WhileContinue reading “Writing, Organizing or Procrastinating”

Wisconsin Weather in Pennsylvania

Good Morning from my office, I am still working on housekeeping details for the new semester and this little corner of the world, known as 119B Bakeless, has seen more of me than any other place. For the last 13 days, it seems I have spent more time at my desk and worked on moreContinue reading “Wisconsin Weather in Pennsylvania”

Conferencing and Remembering

As I begin to write this, I am actually blogging on my phone and in the Detroit airport. While I have, perhaps, flown though DTW more than any other airport (MSP could be first), it has been some time since I have flown to the U.P.. I remember flying with Dale Sullivan to Atlanta fromContinue reading “Conferencing and Remembering”

I Think I Can . . . I think I can . . . I think

Good morning, So I had about four paragraphs written and I did something on my new tablet and lost the entire post. Even though it told me it had saved a draft, no such thing was true. Dammit!! I actually began this post last night when I was doing student conferences. I got all ofContinue reading “I Think I Can . . . I think I can . . . I think”

In the Middle of a Whirlwind

Good morning from Starbucks, While I do not normally have office hours this morning, I need to, if for no other reason than trying to catch up myself. While I had some idea that the fall would be rather full (my euphemism for totally crazy), I think I underestimated. I feel things slipping away andContinue reading “In the Middle of a Whirlwind”

Fifty-four Days until Halloween

Good morning from Starbucks in the Commons, This semester I have all my office hours in coffee shops. While I have done part of my life that way (both in an out of school), it is not because of the coffee or other forms of caffeine that I spend what might seem to be anContinue reading “Fifty-four Days until Halloween”

Writing with Sources

Good Morning from my class, I am currently sitting in the back of my 9:00 a.m. #Foundations of College Writing course. As I do every semester, I have the #Bloomsburg Writing Center come to class and have them do this presentation for my course. What is evident, both from experience as well as research byContinue reading “Writing with Sources”
