Welcome to our Class Blog!

I'll begin with a bio post, because I'm going to ask you to do the same thing (directions on the Moodle Blogger Instructions book).

My name is Maia Butler and I am a student at ULL completing the requirements for a Master's Degree in English Literature.  My Bachelor's degree in English Rhetoric was obtained from the University of Alaska.  When I grow up, I want to be a college professor, which means I will need to finish my Master's degree, obtain a PhD, and then I can teach composition and literature classes for the rest of my days.  What I am doing now to reach that goal is lots and lots of reading, writing, taking classes, and working hard on assignments from my professors.  I have a ten year old daughter who likes to dance, sing, skateboard and decorate cakes.  She is much better at math than I am.  I have a fiancee who enjoys video games, comic books, and who just published his first novel.  He has a three year old son who loves race cars, trains, and is much better at playing the batman lego video game than I am.  We like to take the kids to the zoo if it's not too hot.  Some of my favorite things to do in my spare time are: read, play scrabble, watch movies, keep in touch with people on facebook, cook, and explore Lafayette.  I can enjoy lots of different types of music, but I love music from the Caribbean the most, probably.

Now, there is my bio and I'm excited to see yours.  Next, I will post an example that gives you an idea of what a thorough discussion post will look like (directions also on the Moodle Blogger Instructions book).  I will post the questions that a professor from long ago asked us to answer in our discussion post, and I will post my answer.  I will also post some comments that my peers wrote in response to my post.  Hopefully, this will provide you with a good model of what I am looking for from you.
