		<title>My return to blogging&#8230; :-/</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Throughout highschool I had a livejournal and for a short period of time a xanga journal online.  I loved having the public forum that all my friends (and enemies) could see.  I posted random entries on my current life issues, some poetry, and I loved to comment on other peoples posts (I tend to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Class of bloggers?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In looking through my classmates&#8217; blogs (as well as re-reading my own) I had mixed feelings.  I tried to especially pay attention to the papers that we all posted.  Some of us came with a lot of writing experience and skill already under our belts.  Others started a little more from scratch.  But overall, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Going Old School</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  
            The boundaries of &#8220;academic discourse&#8221; are extremely blurry.  Not all &#8220;school&#8221; work counts.  In fact, as a student, I have never really considered my work as a part of the conversations taking place in academia.  My term papers were written for grades.  Often they simply supported some other argument I found in an article [...]]]></description>

		<title>Miller</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In Miller&#8217;s article, she discusses her &#8220;self&#8221; in an interesting way.  Instead of following Elbow&#8217;s argument that one needs to put their &#8220;self&#8221; into their writing, she believes that the process and product of writing helps to form the &#8220;self.&#8221;  In her writing process, she finds that the role she takes as a writer determines [...]]]></description>

		<title>Am I a &#8220;Writer?&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Am I a &#8220;Writer?&#8221;
            I have always been what my mom calls an &#8220;English person,&#8221; as opposed to a &#8220;math person&#8221; like my brother or a &#8220;history person&#8221; like my step-dad.  While I would like to consider myself well-rounded (wouldn&#8217;t we all?), I can&#8217;t help but agreeing with my mom&#8217;s label.  Reading came to me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Writing Process: Make-Over</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Make-Over
            &#8220;My writing process is&#8230;&#8221; I don&#8217;t really know how to finish that statement.  I could discuss my routine of thinking about my papers for days before actually working on them, staring at the screen for hours before writing anything, having to take a pen and paper to another room to actually produce some thoughts, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Am I a Narcissist?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

After reading the article on our generation being narcissistic, I was honestly a little offended.  I have never thought of myself as being narcissistic and I didn&#8217;t like being generalized like that.  So, in response, I googled &#8220;narcissism quiz&#8221; and took a quiz on the following website.  Now, thinking about it, the fact that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Corbett</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ In the Corbett article, he talks about how he had to write verbatim chunks of works from authors that he was studying as a beginning of class exercise.  At first I read that and thought, &#8220;what kind of crap is that.&#8221;  Thinking back to high school and forward to my career as a teacher, it sounded absurd.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Race in my writing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As noted in the prompt, I&#8217;m one of the people that never thinks about race when writing.  I don&#8217;t consciously think about race much at all, at least I don&#8217;t think I do.  My race affects my writing somewhat in the sense that my race is a huge part of my culture.
