		<description><![CDATA[Here is a smattering of observations from last semester&#8217;s work here and how it felt.  They&#8217;re some final reflections before other activities drive my attention elsewhere (I&#8217;m about to go to the Opening Ceremony for the Korean Fulbright teachers I&#8217;ll be teaching over the next several weeks, for example).
I never took a day off.  Not. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like using a high-currency education word start.  I&#8217;ll assess my measurable goals (SMART goals?) and then quantify these measurements.
Not really.  The funny thing&#8211;coming to study at the University of Texas isn&#8217;t quantifiable.  What would I measure?  My GPA?  Hours spent paper writing?
Things are about as clear as mud.  I like the challenges of being [...]]]></description>
