Wow, this page looks pretty damn empty. A person more studious than I would say: "Well, do your Homework and then there'll be some stuff on it!", but I say No. That would be too border-ey. Instead, I'll post something only vaguely connected to this class. That way, my blog will no longer look empty, I can procrastinate, and I can promote the "Get Outside Yourself" campaign being sponsored by the English Department!
So here it is, my "User Testimonial" that I just submitted to Dr. Evertson:
I came to Chadron State College because I wanted to get far away from home. For me, life "back east" was comfortable but boring, and like so many young men, I sought adventure in the West. The little Panhandle town of Chadron seemed to combine the pleasures of higher education with the thrill of the unknown, and when I arrived on my first visit, I was hooked. The scenic Pine Ridge to the south provided a perfect backdrop for the cozy campus I encountered. Rolling hills to the north and west hinted at vast, unknown spaces waiting to be explored, much like those within myself. The English Department here has proven to be an exceptional accompaniment to the adventurous natural setting, and I've come to admire both greatly. It's a privilege to be able to work closely with dedicated and experienced professionals, often in small, personalized classes, but also on campus and in the broader community. Literature Professors structure their curriculum to fit with the natural surroundings of the college and the experiences the students have while in attendance. When I go hiking or fishing in the nearby wilderness after a day of classes, I can always appreciate how my education adds meaning to these activities I‘ve grown to love. The Department has worked to make the college experience into an integrated whole for the learner. Chadron Literature Majors don’t just study and go to class. We learn of the power a place can have over people, while experiencing it first-hand.
Boom. Impressed? I would be too.
Ps, did you catch my joke about dedicated professionals? Ha-ha... Just kidding, guys...
