Back to School… again! ;-)

Thursday, September 27th, 2012

Hey everybody, it’s that time… again, to get back to class.

This semester is going to be a busy one for Web English with 3 sections for me and all of them completely full.

I’m very sorry to hear that several students from last semester were unable to register and get into the class for the second semester. I really wish that wasn’t the case, but it is not up to me at all when it comes to who gets into the class.

This semester will be very similar to last semester in the structure of class since we’ll be continuing to learn and use internet vocabulary and finding and using sites that are fun and useful for learning and using English to better your skills.

Anyway, I am looking forward to it, and I’m ready to get things going.

Let’s have a great semester!

My new picture

I was in class the other day and a student came up to me and said:

“Professor, will you go ‘aaarrghhhh!!!’ and make a gesture?”

I said, “aaaarrrgghhhh!!! of course”.

And she used her iPhone and took a picture of me.

That might seem unusual to some people, but it happens to me, occasionally. I’m asked to take a photo, say something for a short video, etc.

Later I got a message from Facebook saying there was a new picture of me posted.

It was this one:

Me in manga form

I think the app that was used is called Manga Camera.

Anyway, it’s an interesting picture, I think.
