The Semester Begins: New Classes, New Schools

by Eric on January 9, 2009

The semester starts on Monday, and I’m excited. I’m teaching World Literature II at Holy Family University, and Freshmen Comp at Montgomery County College this semester. I’m a bit nervous about my World Lit class, it’ll be the first time I’ve dealt with fellow English majors. What if I end up with some brilliant literary prodigy who knows more about the Enlightenment Era then me? *panics*

I’m psyched that I get to give a guest lecture at St Joseph’s University next month. All about blogging. Apparently I’m good at that! Who knew?

me: Whoa! I’ve been invited to guest lecture at St Joseph’s University. They want me to talk about blogging in a journalism class in February.
Katie: i love how intelligent and prestigious you are suddenly.
me: Suddenly?!

Thanks Katie.

I’m not at liberty to say how I stumbled upon this website but I just wanted to let you know that the sentence, “What if I end up with some brilliant literary prodigy who knows more about the Enlightenment Era then me?” is grammatically incorrect. It should end with “than I?”

Not to be an asshole… I just thought it was ironic that you made that mistake in a post about lecturing to english majors.

ROFL. It’s also just a silly blog, and I don’t really care about my grammar when I’m rambling on it. :o )

Eric — I think this guy’s writing you from jail.

Also, Trickob? “english” should be capitalized. ZING!

I was present at the St. Joe’s talk and it was engaging and enlightening. Thanks for coming out. If I get the nerve, I may attempt to write for uwish…It’s just that I have a love/hate relationship with Philly or maybe for this country/world?
Anyway, thanks for the ideas and I wish you the best.
