Week 5...

Week 5 is off to a cray start.  Woke up Monday with a nose bleed.  UGH! Allergy season has begun.

Today, it's raining.  Today is a long day, too.  I'm in a weird mood, probably because of the allergy meds.

Trying to keep my energy up as I get through this week.

Week 2 Is Done!

I made it through week 2.  I'm still tired.  I'm adjusting to having a schedule that has me teaching all my classes on Tuesday & Thursday.

I'm never doing this again.  Uhh uhh!

This Week is FINISHED! P.S. And I'm Glad...


Well…  This week has been crazy.  I’m wore down dead tired.  I ain’t even lying.  Excuse the ebonics.

All my classes are on Tuesday and Thursday.  I have four classes on those days.  There will be several days this semester where I’ll have five classes on those days.  I drive back and forth to go to three schools.

I better make sure I take my vitamins.

I enjoy ENGL1302.  I get to blog and I get to teach my students about having a growth mindset, as well as how to succeed in college.

Let’s roll… SPRING 2019!

First Week of Classes

It's the first week of classes...


Who's bright idea was it to have 5 classes all on the same night?

Pray my strength in the Lord.

P.S.  Today has me questioning all my life choices. :)

Spring 2019

Well, vacation is over.  I'm back at work.
I'm excited about Spring 2019.

My word this year is...

Everything I'm doing this year will be on purpose and for a purpose.  My goal this year is to...
Inspire, motivate, and encourage my students to become writers on PURPOSE.

I'm prepping now.  I'm teaching five classes this semester... all on campus.  Pray my strength in the Lord.

Week 4: How to Make It in College

This week in 1301, we're writing a summary/response essay on Brian O'Keeny's article entitled, "How to Make It in College, Now that You're Here" (http://www.brian-t-murphy.com/documents/Okeeney.docx).

It is a great article.  I use it for my Freshman Comp 1 course to give the students advice that I think will help them.  In all honesty, I wish I had this article when I was going to college.
