Yesterday, we worked on reviewing the syllabus and getting our blogs set up. To be honest, I wasn't sure how the students would do with the mechanics of setting up the blogs, but, honestly, they were fine--more comfortable than I would have been in the same situation. You can see all of the blogs from the class listed down the side of this page. Take some time to browse some of them and see what has been posted so far. Each of them seemed to enjoy being able to pick colors and titles and "gadgets" to go on the blog pages. Immediately each student worked to make the blog his or her own. Some ended up pink; some ended up with polka dots; some ended up with titles; some were simply simple.
By the way, Kim wins the award for posting first! She has an interesting reflection about how and why she came to MC. Check out her blog in the list.
One thing that always strikes me when I meet a new class of freshmen composition especially is the wide variety of students that make up Mississippi College. While we all may feel that there is a "sameness" here, even in our class there are people from different regions of the country, different ethnic backgrounds, different beliefs, different goals, different family situations. I hope that the blogs will helps all of us to get to know each other a little bit better, to respect our differences and to discover the surprising ways in which we might be alike.

Hey Dr. Miller, I enjoy your lectures in class. They inspire a depth of thought that has been dormant for the summer. I will enjoy this class, and hopefully will do well.
