About Me

This blog is no longer active - but I've left it up because I love it. You can check out my other, current blog at http://theloquaciousintrovert.blogspot.com/ Enjoy!

So, about me? Your guess is as good as mine...

But, perhaps I should take this seriously.

Yes, that is me. I know, shocker.

I started this blog a little over 5 years ago on a boring day in study hall during my first year of teaching. The blog started as a semi-personal/private account of teaching, intended, perhaps, to think about the Big Questions of teaching. It evolved (or devolved) into a blog about my often hilarious life as a teacher at an international school in West Africa.

The blog continues to be about my life as a teacher, though not as much about my personal life. For more on me, specifically, head over to theloquaciousintrovert.blogspot.com for all the tasty details.

A bit about me:

I am many things:

• a Christian (yes, indeed, one of those "born-agains")
• an English teacher through and through
• a reader to the core
• a sometimes-writer
• a terrible poet
• a self-doubter
• a cynic
• an optimist
• a missionary "kid"

I like to laugh--and I usually laugh at myself.

I enjoy the combination a good cup of coffee, a long book, a comfy couch, a cozy quilt, and a rainy day more than is humanly acceptable.

I am a loquacious introvert, that rare breed who will gladly talk your ear off, and then will have to go hide in their room for a week to recuperate.

Please enjoy my musings and my muddlings through life as a teacher.
