Teaching Heart of Darkness: Necessary Supplies

1. Heart of Darkness Mango Juice from Trader Joe’s? Check.

2. Dark Chocolate Cookies? Check.

3. Actual Heart of Darkness text? Check.

4. A Classroom of college students who feel like they’re in sixth grade again? Check.

Seriously, I love teaching. And yes, they actually do make Heart of Darkness juice at Trader Joe’s. Check out the label. Besides serving as a beverage for Heart of Darkness themed snack-time, it’s also my new favorite juice. Yum!

Sigh, only five more classes left in the semester. I really enjoyed teaching World Lit II over at Holy Family, as well as my wonderful students. This was my first time teaching a literature course, and they were patient with me as I learned to teach through teaching.

Looking forward to teaching World Lit I there in the Fall. Hopefully by then I’ll have my Beowulf tattoo. Woo!

    Is the Beowulf tattoo for real??

  2. Heart of Darkness juice? Beowulf tattoo? Awesomeness.
