Welcome back!

We hope you all had a wonderful summer. Perhaps relaxing. Perhaps productive. Perhaps crazy. We are glad to welcome you back for the fall semester. September is officially here. (Of course, it is. Dunkin Donuts is serving pumpkin coffee.)

There's already a lot of great buzz circulating already about classes. St. John's Bookstore bags are a certain sight this week as everyone picks up their books for the semester. Everyone is stocking up on highlighters, notebooks, pens, pencils, and coffee.

I am also really excited about continuing our English Department blog this semester! While I am drawing up plans for some "series" of posts and we'll of course keep up with announcements on department happenings, please let me know if you have any suggestions of things you'd like to read on here. Are you interested in guest-blogging? Send us an email at stjenglish.blogspot@gmail.com!

Enjoy the first week back to school!
