		<title>The View From the Stage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s fitting that my semester ended with fireworks; the explosion was the only balanced reaction to the three weeks prior. I am certainly better off after it all, however.
May 2 &#8211; I performed Beethoven&#8217;s 9th Symphony in Bass Concert Hall with the combined choirs of UT Austin and the UT Symphony Orchestra. It was a [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Anatomy of an Exam</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I often get asked by prospective students what tests are like in college. Well, here&#8217;s your answer.
They kinda&#8230;suck?
In all honesty, tests in college end up being CONSIDERABLY more significant to your G.P.A. and graduation track&#8217;s well-being than high school tests are. Oftentimes, classes will be structured around the idea that the ONLY grades you have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Traveling About &#8211; Part 2, Ransom Notes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s nothing more fun than a road trip &#8211; well, except maybe a road trip where you sing.

We drove. And drove. And drove. From Austin to Dallas, from Dallas to Little Rock to Memphis, and finally, Nashville. We chose Nashville for our 2009 tour because it is a center for not just country music, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Traveling About &#8211; Part I, CKI</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The byproduct of being in a number of student organizations, other than a severe lack of free time and a sharp increase in meaningful friendships, is the opportunity to travel all kinds of places for conventions, tours and meetings.

Circle K International
UT CKI is a service organization on the UT Campus, it&#8217;s true, but we are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scholarships</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Applying for scholarships is one of the more frustrating things someone can do. But, it can also be one of the most rewarding as well.
Lately, I&#8217;ve been working on a few scholarship and award applications, and it&#8217;s interesting that they almost invariably end up costing money to accomplish. Because of my desire to give them [...]]]></description>

		<title>Address to Congress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In his address to Congress tonight, President Obama spoke extensively on the issue of education, and the affordability of college in these tough times.

An excerpt from tonight&#8217;s speech:
It is our responsibility as lawmakers and as educators to make this system work, but it is the responsibility of every citizen to participate in it.
So tonight I [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Hardest Thing About Being a Music Major</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a longstanding tradition at UT to rip everyone who&#8217;s not in your school for certain stereotypical qualities. For example, my roommates are engineering majors, which means they have no social skills, another of my roommates is an RTF major, which means he has no idea what he wants to do after he graduates, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weekend Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Monday: was a relatively mundane day, on the whole. I spent the afternoon, after my classes, playing Rock Band on and off with roommates.
Tuesday: I auditioned for a really great choir called the Conspirare Symphonic Choir. Based in Austin and directed by former UT professor Craig Hella Johnson, this large ensemble performs major works a [...]]]></description>
