I hope these posts improve as time marches forth. I'm under a lot of stress as I begin this account; nonetheless now is when I must necessarily begin this blog.
I am 24 years old and have just finished my Master's Degree program at Eastern Kentucky U. in Richmond, KY. On January 11th, my class is in-session for the first time. I'll be working with two sections (of 15 students each) of developmental composition students: at my university, that's ENG 095.
Yesterday I received my textbook for the course. It's the sixth edition of American Voices: Culture and Community, by Dolores LaGuardia and Hans P. Guth. I am perfecting my syllabus based on it as I finish my essays on "The Revenger's Tragedy," assumed to be by Thomas Middleton and on Anne Bradstreet's "Contemplations" within the context of her Several Poems.
These assignments (among other, now achieved goals) are stressing me more than the prospect of teaching next semester; I'm tired of being a student for now and feel I am on the apex of the sort of job I have desired my entire life as a career-minded person.
Time to do homework. I'll check-in later.

About Me
- Ben
- Though I've traveled the eastern U. S. somewhat extensively, I have lived my entire life in south Central Kentucky... very close to the foothills of the Appalachian mountains. More than anything, I think this sense of place has shaped my worldview to reflect the concerns of my region. I am a former broadcast reporter and current adjunct English Instructor at Eastern Kentucky University, where I also earned a Master's Degree in the English Language. My interests (below) really reflect a lot of things that could be addressed in an "About Me" section.
