Welcome to the Professor Diaries!

So, I have been grading papers non-stop for several weeks now (it is the end of the semester!) and I decided that I really need an outlet to share some of the lessons I  have learned since I became a professor about a decade or so ago.

My intended audience is other professors, as well as my students (and anybody else who might want to follow me). I plan to share amusing anecdotes, the occasional rant, as well as useful information about how to improve

writing, be a better student, and other stuff like that.

I hope to have guest bloggers that are professors, teachers, professional writers, as well as students.  The whole purpose is to have some fun while also helping me get into a regular (ideally daily!) writing routine.  I invite your feedback and suggestions AND I ask you to be kind to me because I am sure that I will make grammatical errors, post things that later I will regret, and generally make mistakes as HUMANS are prone to do.

So here it goes!
