So, this weekend I went to an academic conference at UVU (UVSC in Provo). It was really fun and I presented on one of my favorite authors--William Faulkner. It was a fun experience because I love the process of refining a paper and then sharing it with others, but this experience also left me feeling a little unsure of a few things.
1. Does Shakespeare really have to be intertwined in EVERY conversation?
2. When a person uses 5 words that I've never heard before in the same sentence, should I be talking to this person?
3. Why are all English teachers liberals??
4. Most importantly, did I chose the right "career"? Will I ever fit in with these English people??
Haha! Many of you may have no idea what I'm talking about. But most likely, if you've taken an English class, at any point in your life, you know exactly what I'm talking about. As I drove to Provo with my old professors, and tried to engage in "normal" conversation with them, like a human, I realized that several of them were incapable of this. In other words, many of my professors are wonderful to learn from in the classroom, but they are horribly boring and self-important when you get to know them as people. Sad, but true. In conclusion, I refuse to be a hoity-toity professor, ever in my life! I will always be personable and as down-to-earth as possible. :)
My Mom made me a birthday cake. Isn't that sweet?
Our niece and nephew, Brindley and Brody--we had a little easter egg hunt, just for them.
This is Katie, Baby Kayla, and me, at Katie's baby shower.
My cousin, Brittany got baptized and we went to Paula's after to celebrate. :)
