Sideways Stories from Wayside School

So, I have to start this by saying that somehow I missed the boat. I had no idea that these great books from my childhood were written by the same guy that wrote Holes. That is super duper cool because last semester I read Holes with Ms. Devine's seventh grade class for the first time, and it was a fantastic book (go read it). Back to our regularly scheduled program.

For school this semester, I have to keep a blog. This is good news for all of you who have been requesting some update on my severely unkept website. This is bad news for anyone who thinks I already talk too much. So, about school. It has started out, well, disheartening to say the least. Texas A&M has changed a few classes, and I am not sure exactly how I am going to work out the new requirements. But that is a story for another time, or at least another place.

The exciting news is that for one of my classes, we are writing a children's book. Or at least part of one. Given my inclination toward writing (despite my apparent lack of practice) this promises to be fun.

I still have yet to attend two of my classes. And I ran out of words, so I'm off to read Water for Elephants and make a star. Later later.
