As many of you are no doubt aware, yet another school year looms just ahead of us waiting to throw off its black cape of misery and descend on us with much malice and pain. In addition to these old nuisances, I find myself in a new awkward situation having been charged with my own class to teach (Nineteenth-Century Cheeses II)! Good heavens! With all these new and exciting developments, the future of Niblets has been on my mind constantly this week—when I’m not thinking about the seventeen blank faces that will be looking to me for guidance four hours a week, that is.
My week of full-time teacher training may have drained me of content for this week’s post, but I am firm in my resolve to not let my new responsibilities as a Basic Advanced Studies In Franz Kafka’s Late Works instructor deter from my love of the Niblets entirely. Updates in the past have, for those of you keeping score at home, been every Monday and between 1250-1500 words in length. Now, I am entertaining two possible changes to that scheme: updates in the coming months will either be shorter in length, or come after two weeks time. If things get particularly rough (as the first year of teaching is notorious for) I may resort to both (posting a shorter article after two weeks) but I’m going to do my best for you to not let it get that far. Regardless, Monday will always be the day.
Good luck to you all out there, and keep an eye on the horizon for the niblets!
