Hello World!

Well, hello blog world! It has been awhile - almost three months - since I've seen you. And honestly, at the moment there is no reason I should be writing to you. Maybe it's that 5-hour energy drink I took or just the need to feel in touch with the outside world, but here I am writing while I still have 11 papers to grade.

The past three months have been wonderful, but full to the brim with student emails, papers and glorious freshmen drama (a teacher's bird's-eye view of it). Not to mention, weekends full of football and weddings - Oh, how I love a southern fall! But I am here to say - and if I say it, maybe it will come true - I will be back soon! Right now, this is where I am sitting day after day. But soon enough, I will make time to record the entertaining/sometimes-boring/rarely-slow/ever-changing happenings of the Elmer household. So ta-ta for now, and no, I am not dead. Blogging - it's on that 'I want to-do' list by my bed along with other fun things like: carve a pumpkin, buy a "bouquet of freshly-sharpened pencils," collect fall leaves, write some letters, and listen to that new Ryan Adams CD. One day.

The desk may look wild, but there's a strange organization to it. Notice the wrapper of the inspirational godiva chocolates, Real Simple and Pecans strategically placed to entice me to finish my work, green pen b/c students think red is scary, and a watch to remind me how much time I've wasted. Good-night!
