My Students Are Awesome!

I've been teaching for just over a week now. I guess you could say a week and a half, though I had Labor Day off. In this period of time, I have already had students refer to me as "Professor" (even though I only have a Master's degree), a student who asked to call me "Master," (though he never decided to actually call me that--which leads me to wonder: if a PhD is a doctor, is a person with an MA a master???), a student say I was cool, a student say he enjoyed coming to my class, and a whole class that wants to celebrate my birthday.

I have four groups right now, but will be adding a fifth in October. The students are a riot! They really know how to make me laugh and have a good time. Fortunately, I can make them laugh too, usually.

If the classes get loud and I have to quiet them down, many of the students will shush the noisy ones. It's amazing. I don't want to jinx anything, but it's like they're really "on my side."

I know you're not really supposed to apologize for lack of bloggage, but I just wanted to let everybody know what's up. I'm teaching full-time now, so I'll still try to blog when I can, but I haven't been able to do memes for a while now. Peace out, y'all!

True Colours Thursday--Violet!

Once again, apologies for my tardiness. I am finally getting around to posting my TCT... on Friday. This is a plastic hurricane glass I got during my community college's Spring Carnival five years ago. Five years ago?! Anyway, the theme was Mardi Gras. Layered in the glass are the "Mardi Gras beads" we all received at the carnival. Don't worry, no one had to do anything obscene to get them--they were just free to all carnival-goers. Anyway, the emphasis is on the violet beads for this week.

True Colours Thursday is the brainchild of friend Blue
