http://acanofmixednuts.blogspot.com/2011/03/well-im-back-and-ive-got-some-big-news.html
Wednesday, March 16, 2011. Well, I'm Back! And I've got some BIG NEWS! So, my cousin pointed out that I haven’t written on my blog in eight months. For that, I am sorry. I have been planning a comeback for quite some time but frankly haven’t found the time to do so. This school year has completely flown by. I’ve been so busy with graduate classes, and while that is a meek excuse, it is the truth. But I do have some exciting news! For those of you who don’t know, the Admin and I got engaged!

http://acanofmixednuts.blogspot.com/2011/03/qualifying-exams-round-2.html

Tuesday, April 5, 2011. And a few other things. 1 I passed my qualifying exams! Once again, they were pretty traumatic.

A Can of Mixed Nuts: South of Broad
http://acanofmixednuts.blogspot.com/2010/07/south-of-broad.html
Monday, July 12, 2010. Dear Mr. Conroy,. I recently finished reading South of Broad. I appreciate the rawness of the story and value the opportunity I had to live in Charleston in the 1960s because of South of Broad. Like you, I am an English teacher in Columbia. And as you mentioned in your letter years ago to that young student in West Virginia regarding the banning of Beach Music. And The Prince of Tides. So, if you ever feel so inclined to come to Edisto, I have what I feel to be a pretty inspiring v...

http://acanofmixednuts.blogspot.com/2011/03/rate-my-teacher.html
Friday, March 18, 2011. I just came across this website called RateMyTeacher.com and read my rating. Holy cow. I had three ratings from 2009-2010. And each rating was the lowest you can get.
