		<description><![CDATA[I got my diploma from WashU in the mail a few days ago. I had sort of forgotten that I had actually finished a degree program and now possessed some useless letters that could but probably never will follow my name. It&#8217;s a fancier diploma than I expected, all engraving-on-silk-inset-in-leather-folio. This is all well and [...]]]></description>

Shortly, I will be nervous about my defense, anxious about talking to three really excellent professors about this half book that I just wrote. But right now, I am triumphant.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is telling of my weakness that brief, punchy criticism directed towards my abilities in a none-too-important quadrant of my life can swiftly debilitate me. The specifics of the criticism were really immaterial; all I took away was a panicking sense of self-doubt, a questioning of my calling, and the impulse to cry any time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday night I saw the writing on the wall&#8230; and it was mine. It is a strange sensation to walk into a museum &#8212; a real museum, not Covenant&#8217;s Art Barn &#8212; and see one&#8217;s own words plastered on the wall. It is even stranger to see well-appointed museum donors, art history department professors, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Huzzah! I am 58 pages closer to a graduate degree in Contemporary Art and Theory. Four days ago, my dining room floor looked like this: When I taught writing at Cov, I would occasionally frighten hapless students by whipping out a pair of scissors and announcing that we were going to cut up their essays.

		<description><![CDATA[(Blogging between rounds of grading has proved difficult. My thesis research is consuming, and as I struggle to put thoughts into sentences coherent by academic standards, I have little desire to re-translate into summary or self-critical form for my reading public.

In order to ascend to the pantheon of senior art history scholars who publish about &#8220;the history of string&#8221; or [...]]]></description>

Yes, I, Elissa Weichbrodt, am about to be partially entrusted with the minds and grades of WashU freshmen whose parents are paying extraordinary amounts of money for their child to attend a top twenty school.
