I'll Be Teaching!!!!

I’ll be TEACHING! Gasp, I know, who let me have that much power?!
Ok, here’s what’s going on. Next semester I’ll be teaching a House Course on Jane Austen going over four of her novels (Emma, Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abbey, and Lady Susan) along with some biographical info that I’m getting off a few sites online.

I’m so excited to be teaching and teaching something I’m enthusiastic about. Already I have a lot of people on the campus wanting to take the class so I hope I can get the Hopwood or Welshimer room of the Library to use for the classroom (aside form taking everyone outside on really pretty days once spring hits).

Long time no post...again...

So I have to admit that the more that I hear about a friend of mine’s wedding the more I want to get married myself. It will be about two more years before I can marry DC (however, if it were up to him we’d be at the courthouse right now signing papers). I already know what I want, pretty much in detail and Kathy, my future-mother-in-law thinks I’m a nut but is happy for me and very supportive of DC and I.
The finny thing is I am not to the only one in this situation. The wedding planner and best friend of the friend I mentioned before is thinking about getting married too and she, like me, is going to have to wait at least two more years.
Blah I think waiting can be deadly.

So It has been a long time since I’ve posted I know, forgive me.
I’ve been busy with school and boyfriend and work.

Lately I’ve been working in the college library archives creating Today in (College Name Here) History and typing up letters from 1910. I love my job. Its perfect for a geeky introvert. My boss gives me my assignment (preferably not running books from the basement to the second floor and back) and we talk about DragonCon, web comics, and other such matters. Mostly it’s quiet and I’m surrounded by books and the musty smell of old paper while I decipher the handwriting of the college’s founding fathers. Love it!

The Presidential Election has hit another height since I last posted. Welcome the VPs into the media frenzy. It gets to the point where I reach apathy and want to throw a rock at the TV. I mean, really, there isn’t a politician who isn’t crooked and won’t say whatever they feel will get them elected. I don’t trust either candidate at all and that ont top of the fact that people’s votes don’t count is why I am not voting. Perhaps this year will be Nadar’s chance?
