Introductions

We'll begin in this blogging community by introducing ourselves.

Name: Jennifer Thackston Johnson-Cooper
Year in School: Recent Ph.D. Graduate (that would be year 11 since high school)
Major: Asian Languages and Cultures, with a concentration in Modern Chinese Literature
Three Interesting Things About Me:
1. I live in Long Beach with a husband and two cats (who, appropriate to my geekiness level are named Imoen--after the character in the video game Baldur's Gate--and Trillion--after the character in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy).
2. I love the TV show Glee and I have all installments of the soundtrack.
3. Teaching this course is my last hurrah at UCLA--in the fall I'm moving to Dallas to begin a tenure-track position at Austin College.
