bragging rights

I finished my first publication!

Ok, so it's not my first. I have published in the academic world on the analysis of the text of a 15th century young Spanish girl's tragedia and appeared in various conglomerative books that illustrate teaching ideas for the foreign language classroom for the lazy or idea-less teachers who need a boost...not that they would ever end up looking for spicy new ideas in one of those manuals, anyway.

I didn't even publish a la Kinkos. I did it at home.

Bound it and everything, all by myself. Of course, I found I put the three appendix pages in the wrong place. Damn. I knew something would happen.

But it can fly...they are, after all, following the first chapter...? jajaja

It looks good. Does that count for anything?

My new class starts on Tuesday. I am thrilled. My own textbook has been a dream of mine for almost as long as I have been teaching, and I feel like celebrating the first round finished.

Yippee for me.
