huhZAH!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, I have a job for next spring!

I will be teaching "Writing Speculative Fiction" as a Collins course. And I'm giddy about the prospect.

A million thanks to everyone who contributed suggestions for the reading list a few months back. I'll post a finalized version of that list when I teach the course; between now and then it might get tweaked a bit.

And now, knowing that I have a year of employment secured, I can relax and start breathing again.

Neighbor-in-progress, but we're making good speed.

Can we arrange a time for you to come take a look at the bed and see if you want it?

YAY!!!!! Very glad for you!!!

[swan-tower.livejournal.com]

Just give a call first to be sure I'm here.

[swan-tower.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm really excited about this one.

[swan-tower.livejournal.com]

Funding is indeed wonderful.

[swan-tower.livejournal.com]

Thankee!

[danielmc.livejournal.com]

will do.

[kendokamel.livejournal.com]

Hooray!!!

Is it open to disillusioned grad students?

[sorceressgirl.livejournal.com]

Congratulations. Slightly worried about your teaching given the icon :-P

[swan-tower.livejournal.com]

Yup. ^_^

[swan-tower.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure. I know that any undergrad can sign up for a Collins course, but I'm not sure about graduate students. It will be listed as a 200-level course, so it might be that you could register, but you wouldn't get grad credit.

<lol> Well, see, my fall course is on fairy tales, and in trying to decide what icon to use for teaching-related posts, my eye fell on Maleficent. Who looks a little bit like she's lecturing. And she's in a fairy-tale movie. So it seemed appropriate . . . and really, the fact that it's also a little ominous was just icing.

*grin*

How lucky to have a course on fairytales! Jealous muchly!

[milbrcrsan.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! Breathing is a good thing. :p

Sounds interesting. Have you taught a class before?

[swan-tower.livejournal.com]

I've been a TA for four years; next fall will be my first time teaching a course on my own.

[milbrcrsan.livejournal.com]

Oh! I bet that's really exciting! Have fun! :D

[mastergode.livejournal.com]

Sweet zombie jesus! That's fantastic!

Shit, *I* want to take that course! =D

[danielmc.livejournal.com]

doh
i just got home.
got hit by the drama BOOM of work at the end of the day and forgot.
may i come by tomorrow before epilogue? 5:30-6?

[buzzermccain.livejournal.com]

Whee! That's awesome!

[anima-mecanique.livejournal.com]

I'm not terribly concerned with grad credit and all that. But I don't want to boot out Collins undergrads and the like, so I will wait and see. At the very least I might be able to audit or something. *shrug*

Congratulations, by the way.

[swan-tower.livejournal.com]

Auditing probably won't work, I'm afraid, since class is organized in a workshop format. But you might be able to enroll.
