And so another semester begins...

Two more semesters.  That's all I have left to obtain my Bachelor degree in Writing and Rhetoric Studies.  In some ways I'm glad and some ways I'm sad.  I love school.  I have a passion for learning.  I have always said I'm like a perpetually dry sponge. I could soak up all the knowledge available and still want more.  

I gained my passion for seeking knowledge from my dad.  I remember watching him as I was growing up reading books on just about every subject.  If my dad didn't know how to do something, he would find a book on the subject and study it until he was skilled in whatever it was he needed to learn.  He learned how to build boats, glider planes, and log cabins. He learned how to fix engines, forge tools, cultivate a crop, and tend to farm animals.  I don't think I've ever met a smarter man than him.

As I begin this new semester with 4 classes already on the schedule, I'm waiting to hear back from the SLCC Community Writing Center to see if I successfully interviewed to obtain a job there.  

It's a dream job for me, teaching and coaching writing. And bonus...I can use it for internship credits for school.  If I don't get the job, I have already been approved for an independent study course.  Either way, it should be a busy, but fun fall semester.  

Soon, regardless of whether I get the Community Writing Center job, I promised a few of the coaches there that I would do a blog post about the CWC and them.  I'm still running behind with all my writing projects and I'm still not complaining.  It's good to be a busy writer.

My children's book was supposed to be released in August, but even the publisher is running behind and has backed up the release date until September.  I'm almost glad because I've been working on the marketing materials and the creation of a children's website dedicated to solely to my book Cheeseface and Solomon.  I'm almost done, but not quite.  You can check out the progress at cheesefacebooks.com.  Happy writing and happy studying to all my fellow students and writers.
