I had a strange moment this morning when I learned that some of my past and current students found and read my blog! I'm not sure why this surprises me because I read a blog written by one of my former graduate professors. Sometimes I think no one reads this because I get so few comments, but apparently, there are anonoymous readers out there somewhere! I try to keep some this private, or blocked to friends only, like my Facebook account. But this website and blog is meant to be both personal and professional. So naturally, students may stumble across it. I think one of the advantages about teaching at a college level rather than elementary and high school is that it's ok for students to see me as a "real person." While I certainly try to maintain a tone of professionalism in the classroom, I enjoy the mutual respect that a professor/student relationship offers.

I went off on a bit of a tangent here, and I'm really not sure I'm being very clear in my thoughts. Early class today. I really just wanted to say - hello students! Say hi once in awhile; I always enjoy hearing what former students are up to. :)
