TESTING!!!!!!! This blog hasn't been active in quite some time. I think I'll just keep this URL for you guys, rather than create yet another blog (I think anyway). I just got home to kill some time before going to the dentist. I hate going to the dentist and I've been blessed with naturally decent teeth and I still CANNOT stand it. I always close my eyes and try to imagine something else,

Today is the last day of classes at BSU. How do you all feel about that? Congrats to Laura for kicking ass at the musical chairs competition at Sunsplash 2004 yesterday. Tonight is when we meet at Mason's. I've heard from a few of you and am very excited to have tonight for some "closure" to our fantastic semester and to my grad. school experience. It'll be sweet. I'll be at Mason's

Ok gang, even if you raised your hand in class last week to indicate your attendance at Mason's this Wednesdayf, I still need an e--mail from you. Not that I care about nobody sending an e-mail saying they are coming (it saves me a lot of money), but I suspect that some of you may have misunderstood or forgotten to send me an e-mail. Soooo, if I don't get e-mails by Monday 5:00 p.m. I'm going

We just had a lovely and short class outside. I felt sort of out of it tonight as I'm so damn consumed by my thesis. I can't wait for that part of things to be over. For next week: Mason's Lakewood Bar & Grill @ 6:00 p.m. 751-2185. Take Hwy. 71 North (towards It'l Falls) Follow the signs for the Beltrami County Fair Grounds to the left. Please e-mail me by Friday if you plan to be there

Sorry for my absent mind lately. Here is tomorrow's assignment: The poems were on the handout I gave in class. You can find them anywhere on-line as well. They are not in your text. In class we read the following poems for the nature/environment theme: Alone in the Woods by Stevie Smith A Child Said "What is the Grass?" by Walt Whitman Frogless by Margaret Atwood Due Wednesday Of the 3

Hey dudes and dudettes! I'm writing from my office as my eyes bleed profusely from spending allllllll day working on my thesis. I just wanted to let you know that I won't be in my office from 4:00-5:00 tomorrow. The English Department is hosting an event "Eat Your Words" in the Hagg-Sauer lounge on 3rd floor from 3-5:00 p.m. 20 pts extra credit for anyone that attends the entire event. Have

I am loving our class so much, it makes me kind of sad to see it so near to the end. I said KIND OF, ok? haha What we did tonight: * Attendance * Announcements: art sale next week, tailgate party this weekend @ baseball field, The Punisher starts this weekend (hope to see some of you there Friday night maybe?). * Discussion on how to stay motivated for the rest of the semester.

Yes, I'm still alive. Life has just been extremely hectic. Class will resume as normal tomorrow. Your assignment is to bring a copy of your favorite poem (if you don't have one, find one you like) and write (type) 1-2 pages telling why the poem appeals to you/what do you look for in good writing/what do you like to read. We will be working with this in class. Only a few more weeks left!

Hello! Please excuse my delay in posting here, I don't have a good excuse, other than I've been enjoying the incredible weather! Just a reminder that we do not have class Wednesday night. I'll update tomorrow with notes from last week's class and next week's assignment. E-mail me with any questions. ssteinkopf@bemidjistate.edu

Summary: *Attendance *Announcements *Discussions on "Battle Royal" and collected FW and response assignment *Heard Nic, Dwight, and Matt read their rite of passage-perspective shift essay---AWESOME JOB! *Read "A Good Man is Hard to Find" *Very brief discussion FOR NEXT WEEK: * 1 pg. typed response to the above story *

It was so great to see you all again tonight. I hope you feel rested and ready to plow through the rest of the semester after your break. For those of you who were unable to attend class this evening or need to be reminded of what we did, here's a recap: *Debriefing on research essay *Returned essays *Finished Presentations *Discussion on literature (likes, dislikes, past experience w/

To quote my childhood friend, Mr Rogers, "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood!" Class is taking place as scheduled. If you see this entry before tonight, please bring your literature text book. I should've mentioned it when we last met, but forgot. We will finish up presentations and return research papers the first part of class. The remainder of class we will be moving on to the

One more week until spring break leaves most of you very antsy, I'm sure! Conferences went better than I could have ever expected--thank you for taking the time to meet with me, it was a treat to talk to you all. I have staff meetings at the house tomorrow (Tuesday), so I will not be available for my regularly scheduled 12-2:00 office hours. I will be at my office during the usual 4-6:00 hours

I had a major case of spring fever (I don't know what that guy has to do with spring fever, but his picture was returned as an image in a google search, funny) today. I always get that way the first day the snow starts to melt and it has that spring smell. I can't really explain it. Maybe I'd be better if I just bit someone, hard. haha. Thanks to those of you who read your free-write

I'm excited to see everyone tonight with their rough drafts! You'll also get the opportunity to use the library and/or computer lab tonight after we get other activities finished. Have a great day and enjoy the weather!

I'm sure everyone went directly to the library after class tonight to dive into their research! I really am excited to read these papers! You all have chosen very interesting topics and I thank you for your creativity and your diversity. For those of you who were gone this evening (sick, participating in lobby day, or just plain didn't feel like coming--which happens to the best of us), I'll

Whew! Did tonight feel as long to you as it did to me? I'm sorry it seems like we are all over the map. There is so much little stuff to cover that it seems hard to make it all come together until you actually sit down to write the paper. Hang in there!

Sorry gang, I have to go out of town on short notice. I won't be in my office until Monday or Tuesday. If you need something, try to get in touch with someone from the class or I'll be back in town Sunday night hopefully. It's -15 outside right now....whoa...so warm.

I didn't update at the office after class last night because I just wanted to get home and out of the cold. Unfortunately, I won't be going to my office until this weekend to update. If you look at last week's class plan, that's what we did (except source reliability stuff). I'll be posting information about the extra credit I talked about. If you need the assignment sheets from last night (I

Is anyone as tired of this weather as I am? The part I dread most is dealing with parking and all that mess on campus. Unless there is some miracle (please let there be a miracle!), we WILL have class tonight. Let's try to plow through things and get you out and back home in a reasonable amount of time. If you travel from out of town or your car doesn't start or you don't want to risk being

I barely got home and am frozen solid! Nobody should have to be out in this, especially after dark. There will be no class tonight. Please work ahead in the tutorial and try to narrow down your topic and we'll talk next week. STAY WARM!!

It's about 10:00 in the morning on Wednesday. They just closed Red Lake schools and Blackduck is closing soon as well. If you are coming from farther away for class, please do not risk driving. However, you are still responsible for contacting me to let me know you will be gone and to get the assignments. Next week's assignment is a biggie. Be safe everyone!

I think I'm going to post ahead of time again, as long as I have everything planned out and I'll revise as necessary after class. January 21 CLASS *Attendance * FFW: 1: Write a paragraph without using the letter T. OR: Write about something you’ve always wanted to do, but never have, why haven’t you done it? What would it take for you to do it? (15 points) Share some? 5 points extra

I'm doing this before class tonight, so I can leave as soon as we are done with my agenda. It's the first night of class, so the plan shouldn't deviate much. If it does, I'll change it. * Attendance * Note cards/folders * Write me a letter introducing yourself (15 mn.) * Introductions--uncommon/commonalities (exchange contact info. w/ group members) * Syllabus and other handouts ***Emphasize

I'm hoping to update this weblog after each Wednesday night class, summarizing what we did and what is due the following week. Also look for other announcements--last minute cancellations, extra credit assignments, etc.
