The Risky Meme

ganked from [livejournal.com profile] sophiaserpentia and [livejournal.com profile] winegodeatsyou

I want anyone and everyone who reads this to post in here something they would like to do with me someday.

Then post this in your journal to find out what I want to do with you.

Please be prudent, unless you feel comfortable enough with me to not be so...

Wonderful? You mean you'll be teaching the writing of poetry?

I'll retire from teaching next Friday--but I've been mostly teaching composition and literature, and some ESL. After a break, I may return to it. Teaching is very satisfying though often frustrating as well.

I'll be teaching Creative Writing to college students while getting my degree to teach creative writing to college students.

Before I went into insurance, I was in a Highschool teaching problem fresh out of my BA, and then my state hit a budget crunch and only wanted teachers with an MAT (which I was supposed to get while I was teaching), hence my delay.

I would love to teach High School, but I couldn't handle the curiculum in GA nor could I handle a fair amount of the children's parents.

Sounds wonderful! I taught high school for a year, too, long ago, and decided I did not have the patience for that age. I've really enjoyed college--and community college especially--I think it's the idea of the students having some choice about being in school, as well as the age difference.

I've written poetry and now fiction for many years, but haven't really taken classes. One of my possible projects for the next few years is just that. Jeannette Turner Hospital teaches fiction here--it's hard to get into her classes but I may try.

Very cool, the I worked with Susan Atefat-Peckham very closely before she died this year in poetry and Kellie Wells in fiction.

I am vaguely familar with Hospital's work, I think. The name rings some note of familarity to me, but I can't remember anything specific.
