I know, I know…
It’s been more than a month since I have posted anything worth reading. I have been busy trying to get my exam proposals ready so that I may “officially” begin reading for exams. One of the things I plan to do is post my complete exam lists, but I have been having a hard time trying to negotiate how to get them off of Endnote in a way that will maintain the MLA format they were written in. Sheeshh…just when I thought my Luddite days were over, here comes another tech issue that I have to figure out! Anyway, I am hoping that once I figure out how to do that, that some of you will give the list a brief perusal and find something of interest there that you might want to read. Once I get the “nod”, I will be posting my notes for each of those readings here, so even if you are not a lover of academic discourse, you might find my interpretations compelling enough to give the entire text the once over. Or maybe you’ll get fired up over something I say, and will let me know that I need to consider another point of view-after all, isn’t that what thinking people do?
I do miss blogging, and I miss reading blogs as often as I would like to, but I take comfort in knowing that once I start posting my notes, there will probably be something new here every day. Until then, I ask for your patience. And, if you are a Boricua lover (Boricua-centrist?), I promise that the texts I have chosen will not disappoint. I can’t say that some of my views won’t ignite a fire, or claim that I will be inventing the Latina/o wheel. But I do hope to give a voice to the way in which we Boricua’s express ourselves, our identities, and our ser; our Rhetorica Latina, that deserves to take it’s place at the academic table next to all of the other great rhetorics we so often hear about.
So, check in once and a while and see what’s up. Hey, you never know.
