It seems like I’ve been writing a lot this year, and I’m curious to go back and see what my output was like as an undergrad. I don’t know if I’m actually writing more now or if it just feels like it. I’m definitely writing fewer but longer papers, but I’m not sure about totals.
Since September, I’ve written and turned in about 57 pages, or 18,239 words, in five essays. Plugged it all into Wordle (which is awesome) and produced the above.
Even one might perhaps…
This blog began (at a different location) as fulfillment of a requirement of the Mississippi Teacher Corps. While intermittently posting, I taught for a year in a rural town with no traffic lights, moved to Jackson and an “inner-city” school, finished the MTC program and stuck around to teach a third year.
Then I went to Santa Fe, New Mexico to study Eastern Classics (& Sanskrit) at my alma mater, and earned the second M.A. that I don’t intend to use toward anything practical.
Now I’m teaching again, math instead of English, and in the desert Southwest instead of the muggy South.
