Shelly in Academia

I know I've been a lazy blogger. I've been pretty busy with a lot of other things. I wish I could say they were exciting things, but it's mostly reading about second language acquisition, international adult education, or qualitative research. And after reading about it, I write about it. It's pretty dry to most people. I do enjoy those topics, but most days I would rather be 'doing' them rather than 'reading' them. So all that is to say, I've been lazy but I've been busy.

My intention is to no longer be lazy, but to make blogging part of my busy-ness. Not because I have anything life-altering to say, I just like to write, and there may be some really bored person out there who might enjoy reading my random thoughts. And it's kind of exciting to think about people reading things that you write, right? I read papers written by college students (most of who are juniors) and what I have found is that they greatly overuse the word 'therefore'. It is one one my pet peeves, especially when it is used incorrectly. Therefore, I plan never to use this word again.
