Surprise Saturday Session
I've been meaning to blogroll for a while. Decided to get around to that this evening. I am unwilling to pay for the "gold" service so I only get one blogroll. Since I wanted categories, I had to manually enter the political and friend links into my template.
Here is a breakdown of my blogroll:
Academic blogs - the top ten of my academic blogs. I only read seven of them regularly but the other three are worthy of linkage. The " ** " at the end of the blog name means that it has been updated in the last 48 hours. They are in alphabetical order to remove any favoritism I might be inclined to indicate. I will admit that my most favorite is Confessions of a Community College (CC) Dean. He regularly updates every weekday a.m.
Political blogs - the top five. I listed these in the order I visit them (ie: priority). I don't normally have the patience to find new political blogs that I enjoy. There are just too many sites with information that is too dry, not to my "side", or poorly written. Just fyi that although I check in on these blogs fairly regularly, the first two are the only ones that I am pretty sure I will still be reading in a year.
Friends' blogs - I have a fairly close circle of friends and most of them don't blog. Hence, not a big list here. I think the average update is every month or two. I just didn't want to leave out the people who at least made an effort to create a blog. Besides, I might one day get sick of this and become a monthly blogger. I have already had a blogging drought.
These are general classifications. Sometimes the political blogs are personal and sometimes the academic blogs are political or personal. I hope that you might find one or two of them interesting. Happy reading.

Wow. Thanks. I'll catch up on your blog over the next few days and put a link on my site.
Your grad experiences remidn me of my own feeligns when I was dealing with the long haul. I don't know if you will stay in or get out of the academy, but I'll tell you that it's so much better on the other side of the defence than I ever thought it would be. SO. MUCH. BETTER.
