Topics Goes to Tybee

While most Coe students are enjoying their winter break surrounded by snow and keeping warm by the fire, some of the Writing Center Centaurs will be traveling to Tybee Island for Topics class! For those of you that don't know, Topics in Composition is a required class for consultants at the CWC. We are required to take it four times in our four years here, usually both semesters of freshman year, once as a senior, and then one other time of our choosing. For the last time (since Dr. Bob is retiring after this year,) a spring semester of Topics is being held on Tybee Island, not far from Savannah, Georgia. There will be 16 of us taking the 18 - 20 hour drive in two passenger vans.

I'm not entirely sure what we'll be doing during our week there, but we'll be staying in a beach house called "Lazy Dayz." It has good reviews on tripadvisor.com, so I'm excited. Tybee Island is located roughly 30 minutes from downtown Savannah, which Dr. Bob has said we will be visiting during our stay. The historic square and monuments area sounds like a great place to write, so I'm sure we will be exploring that area of the city. I haven't spent much time in the southern US and have never been to Georgia besides driving through it, so I am very enthusiastic about this trip! Less enthusiastic about the long drive down. If I have time, I will be updating the blog with accounts of our adventures in and around Tybee Island.

Stay classy,

Brittney
