This semester, I want my freshman to write five times a week on their blog. I think it’s an important habit — writing regularly — and something I want them to get into and learn from. We (in terms of researchers) know that writing helps us learn or define something we know; writing gives structure to our thoughts and feelings. Moreover, writing on a blog means that someone else can read it — it might become important, people might get interested in what I have to say. Here’s the kicker, though. I often forget to write on my blog — and it seems totally wrong to ask students to do what I am not doing. To that end, I am pledging to write on my blog five times a week.  This means that not only will there be more to read, but that I will get into the practice of regular blogging again (I blogged almost daily as a doctoral student). This also means putting myself out there a little bit more — some of the posts are bound to connect with my life, so you will (perhaps) hear a little bit about wedding planning, my resolution to exercise and how that’s going, my weight loss strategies (which currently are to drink coffee instead of eating, so not good) and many many more Willa stories.

So look for this space to be filled a little more regularly.

**Oh yeah, I guess I should have told my audience that Chris proposed right before Christmas and I said yes, so I will be giving marriage another try.**
