Repurposing--Thoughts on the Bifurcated Self

I tend to want to segregate things that I care about/get excited about. That is, I tend to segregate my writing notebooks, wanting a different notebook for each project, or with books (of which I have way too many) I have several separate shelves, of varying genres etc. and each organized within itself in a fashion different from the others. This is a pattern I tend to follow through most (all? maybe not all) areas of my life. A further example: I was thinking the other day that I should get a different USB drive for each writing project that I am attempting and back up the material by saving it in its own folder, and then on its own USB and then within its own Google Docs folder. See? CWWWAAAAAAZZZYYYY.

In any case I have done just this with my blogs. I didn't want to delete my blogs, (well, not all of them) and so I figured I'd leave them where they were and repurpose them, adding the blogs I wanted (a random personal blog, and a new family blog, along with potentially two blogs based around some of my work at Peyton High School) at Tumblr, because it's really cool. And, increasingly popular. Still, I do have these blogs, each purposed for educational type stuff (having each originated with a course requirement in my Grad school program) and decided that they should persist as education/professional type bloggy thingies. There we go. That is evidence of education and professionalism right there, don't you think? ...yeah.

Anyway, This blog, Thoughts on Comp I want to maintain as a forum for venting about --I mean reflecting on my teaching--as a teacher who has voluntarily traded my high school's senior English British Lit course for a speech and composition course instead. I intend to be doing a lot of reading and hopefully some pretty thorough reflections on what works, what doesn't, what I'm reading on the subject (as I am a compulsive reader) and--yeah stuff like that. And it seemed that the already extant title "Thoughts on Comp" was fitting so there you go.
