Well, I am “on the ball” with 2/3 classes. Fairly decent rebound for not doing any school-based work in a week. And now I have to revise my classes’ charts because SALMAN RUSHDIE is coming to UND in a few weeks. I’m so excited! Beyond that, I’m also presenting at the Social Media Conference next Tuesday at NDSU (thanks for the invite, Kevin) and there’s the RRGSC on March 28-29. Of all the months to have to leave for conferences, March is NOT the one, but that’s always how it works. My 12week courses wrap up in early April, but do I have any conferences planned during that month? No. Dang it. We’ll survive, thanks to eCompanion.

That’s my whole deal… I agree with you totally. How you choose to live your life, how you choose to believe or not believe is your deal, not mine. I have no problem accepting the fact that you choose to believe or not believe, I’m not going to condemn you for it, or try to *save* you. I think that that is bullshit. But because I like going to church or whatever, I worry that my friends are going to think that that’s what I’m out for, because a lot of people do try to save people. But I’m not all of a sudden going to be one of them. Thank you for your comment. I need to stop worrying about other people so much, and not care. Everyone knows where I stand, so if they still have issues, that’s their own deal.
And damn right you’re cool! If you weren’t, you wouldn’t have a cult following on facebook!
I think I started that group on Facebook, actually.
Students may have signed up solely based on the fact that I invited them. However, I thought it’d be neat to have ALL my former students in one spot; they could meet each other and connect and “rub elbows,” etc.
Thinking back to World Lit, Salman Rushdie is the controversial author who wrote “The Satanic Verses”, correct? I didn’t keep my book, but I think that’s right. It’s awesome to know that someone who we’d studied would come so close to home.
Yes, he had a fatwa on his head awhile back for that very book. I’ve read Haroun and the Sea of Stories (own a pile of others I haven’t gotten to) — he’s just very intriguing to me. Can’t wait to see him!
