And yes, he told me. Dan gave him my HTML book (oh my, html! lol). However, the new people no nothing about anything related. So, I really am not sure whats going to happen. I mean, I can’t teach them how to use PHP/XHTML/XML, but using HTML they wont really get a lot out of it. I was telling Winkel I could make it more like WP and a forum, where they enter the author, article, possibly pictures, the section its in, and to what newspaper the article belongs, hit submit and have it all database oriented. That wouldn’t really leave much for them to do though. So its all kind of up in the air. I think I’ll probably just show them elements of good/bad web design, and hopefully get something -better- going.

And it’s “Winkel” not “Winkle”.

Re: Ewald. She may be a sort of a bitch when it comes to discipline and such, but look it this way: she’s making sure you have a quiet work area.

Also, she’s an interesting person. I tried to get to know her, but without success. There is much more to her than meets the eye.

For example, I know I can be really bad/mean sometimes (or be viewed as such), but much of the time it is unintentional (usually for lack of social skills or communication skills). That’s one reason I published some of my poetry–so people who take the time to read it know that I am human inside my shell.

I’m not saying it’s the exact same thing with her, but think about this: do you know how much shit she has to endure? Very very few students like her, and they are not vocal like the ones that hate her are (I have found one person who liked her and another who was neutral/accepting. In three years.). No one steps back and looks at her as a person–they just count the seconds until it’s over.

Perhaps I’m trying to accomplish though you what I feel I failed (or, at least, did not see fully realized) to do. Yet, she is human too and not a bad teacher. I feel like I learned a lot from her when I voluntarily re-took Comp and Rhet with her for a week (I had Martian my junior year. Who, as a sort of a disclosure, I never liked or really respected. I won’t go into why in this forum.).

Well anyway, get your homework done and enjoy your junior year. I need to go read ahead now that I’ve had a break.

By the way, you do know how Winkel does the website, right? Adobe fucking In-Design. Drag and drop. I wonder if it’s standards compliant.
