An example of "chose" vs. "choose" also i like cats

Howdy Class, and welcome to our awesome blog. This semester is going to be a wild ride. I hope you're ready! Before we get into the full swing of things, you've got a few things to do:

1. Check out the course syllabus! It'll give you a good idea as to what to expect in the coming months

2. Print out the readings. You'll need to have these all printed out by Friday, so you might as well do it now and stop procrastinating >:0

3. Introduce yourself! I'd like us to think of this blog as a space for us to exchange ideas, give advice, ask questions, and it's a good opportunity for us to get to know each other a bit better. Please post in the comments section your name, the time your class with me meets, and something interesting about yourself as a writer/reader/learner/thinker/cheese-eater. I'll go first to break the ice:

My name's Katie, but you can call me Professor Hoerth (which is, by the way, pronounced like earth but with an H. Don't worry, you can totally mispronounce my name all you want. I'm used to it).

I love to write, although I'm a horrendously bad speller (I even just misspelled "horrendously," thank goodness for spell check!). I struggled a lot with spelling as a kid, and throughout the semester, you'll probably notice it on the board. I mix up letters and sometimes write things backwards. Ooops.Good thing I proofread my work!

My favorite thing to write is poetry. Don't worry, I'm not going to ask you to write any poetry in this class. I also enjoy blogging, reading, and baking. Oh, of course, teaching too! Here's a fun fact: I'm a vegetarian.

Your turn!
