Me at SBL

Since most of my blogging brethren have mentioned when and where they'll be presenting, I thought I might as well mention what I'll be doing in order to contribute to the collective stroking of personal egos. This year will be really fun, as I've been invited on to a panel- I didn't even have to submit a proposal!!

Truth be told, I'm kind of nervous about this. I only had 3 semesters of Hebrew under my belt before I began teaching intro Hebrew, so I'm not that far ahead of the students. (Guess what- I think that's what makes me a decent teacher of intro languages!). But sitting in a room full of members of the NAPH is pretty intimidating- I'm quite positive I will be the one with the weakest Hebrew skills in the room. But no matter, I look forward to it, and if anyone asks me a question I don't know the answer to, I will simply answer the question with a question!

See you all there!
