You are bearing witness to the birth of a new website… you should be honored or at least slightly amused. Since graduating and gaining acceptance into grad school, the university has told me that they are going to confiscate my old email and web address. Somewhere in that, there may be a metaphor but I will let it be. So everything that I have will be on the new darkwing.uoregon.edu server. As you have noticed I’ve “dumbed down” the website, this is purely for my own benefit, this way I can update it easier… plus for those of you still restricted to sub-broadband intent, it should load a heck-of-a-lot quicker with the minimal amount of graphics.

Now onto an update:

I’ve been working, feverishly mind you, at grad school and at Thurston High School… all of which give the stark realization that I have very little time of my own. As it seems, I am teaching a 9th grade English class… currently, we are reading different short stories. The perverse shift of my place in a high school is still something I need to grasp onto. I still give out a angst ridden “hey.” when a student says hi to me. I guess that “hello” would be more appropriate, oh well. The lack of years between me and my students is the buffer that keeps me from reality. Either way, I am an authority figure. Scary. In between grading papers, the 25 minute commute, and school, I have a little bit of a life– only I’ve forgotten what it looked like. If you see it, please send it my way. More to come, I assure you.
