It's so I can keep my job. I have to do 14 credit hours in 3 years- no sweat really, and it's all online. ECU has a reputation of being a party school, but just because I'm not on campus doesn't mean I'm not going to be a-partyin'.

I've been wondering this for a while: what is the point of Off at Tangents?

There is no point to it. Also, congrats, Rob!

I could quite possibly wind up with an MA in English online by the time I'm 32 and at no cost to me...

Do it!
I just checked- it'd have to be a MAT or M.Ed to qualify for reimbursement, neither of which are offered online from ECU.

It's going all right. I'm trying to get my students to read Babbitt by Sinclair Lewis. We have to cover a novel, so I deliberately chose one that was public domain. It's free on the Internet. It's at the library. You can buy it if you want. I even found an audio version for free you can stream online or download and put it on your freaking iPod. And I have less then 10 people actually doing the assignment. They shall be f**ked come Monday, mark my words.

The only book my English teacher ever got most of the class to read was Night by Elie Wiesel.

Many of my students insist what we read is boring, and they do so without even reading two paragraphs.

I heard that was really good, but I never got around to reading it. Was it sad?

I thought Night was a little bit too short, but it was still good. Not as good as the Diary of Anne Frank in my opinion.

I would think it was fairly sad.
