Any Questions?

Hello readers! I hope you're all settling well into your classes. I've found mine a little fuller this year, especially my one lower-level class. I have to take an earlier bus just so I can get a seat, and not get stuck sitting on a chair in the corner! I hear enrollment has something like doubled since we became a full university, but that's just a rumour.

I'd like to let my readers know about the upcoming Poets On Campus event. It's on Monday at 4 o'clock in the Writing Centre (the room with the best view in town). Poets On Campus is a series of reading events at the university. Distinguished poets are invited to read for students, and usually we get the opportunity to ask them questions, and speak with them in a casual atmosphere. There's also coffee and cookies! I've gone to several myself. Next week's reader is our own Susan Juby. She's a professor in the Creative Writing department, and, I'm told, a very entertaining reader!

On another note, I've decided to add video to my blog. I don't know how consistent I'll be with this, so you'll have to stick around to see. I thought it'd be fun to go out into the quad and poll students about something, but I realized that I didn't know what to ask you! Instead, I asked students what they'd like to ask the rest of the student body. Maybe I'll pick up one of these questions for next week. You'll have to forgive my video skillz (and you may have to turn up the volume to hear the last question)!
