What I really like about working at the university is that you also get to travel some and meet interesting people who can provide you with a lot of insight. That is what I’ve been hoping to get out of the American Studies Colloquium held at the Palacky University in Olomouc. I can say after just one day that I’m definitely coming back again next year. And right now I just can’t wait till the next day starts.

And here’s a short slideshow of how my trip has progressed so far:

Certainly there are times when someone comes up to you with something and all you can say (and think) is, I’m not the right person to ask. That’s exactly how I felt when I was approached by a student who seemed rather upset about not passing Introduction to US Studies and something to do with prerequisites for next year and so on. And no matter how sympathetic I might be (from the human point of view), I’m sorry but this is none of my business. Read the rest…

Indeed, patience is one of the most highly regarded virtues. And, at the same time, my access to the Internet is at the moment a little limited. So, dear friends, I will tell you all about my adventures in Paris as soon as I can. And, dear students, I will Read the rest…

Might sound kind of weird that I put this up here, but actually it’s quite important. Please, notice that the date of the elections has been changed to February 12, a day we’re all at school. So please, be so kind as to go and vote for someone you think will represent your interests best. And, no, I’m not going to tell you who that is. You have to do the thinking yourselves (once again). Enjoy it thoroughly!

Dear British and American Studies students (those of you who need to re-take a test/quiz), the dates you are probably quite interested in are as follows:

• Mid-term/Final Test, Aug 22 (Tuesday) at 9 a.m.
• Vocab Quiz 1/2, Aug 24 (Thursday) at 9 a.m.

Those who pass can get their little books signed on Thursday, from 9.30 to 10 a.m.
