About Me
Who am I?
I mean, if the header wasn't a dead giveaway, my name is Madeline Nagel and I am a student at Emory University.
Why do you have a website then?
My freshman English Composition class is a part of an Emory program called "A Domain of One's Own". Dr. Suhr-Sytsma describes the program in the English 101: Living Multi-Lingualism syllabus:
Along with hundreds of other undergraduate and graduate Domain students, you will author and administrate a
personal website that you'll use to feature academic work, collaborate with classmates, and contribute to larger
projects at Emory and beyond.
She goes on to explain what might come next for the site after the semester ends:
...the site you built is yours to continue to develop into a personal cyber infrastructure that may include, but is not
limited to, course projects, a professional portfolio, resume/CV documents, social media feeds, and blogs.
So, to sum it up, this site is just a nice corner of the internet where I can feature my writing and work from various classes at Emory. While it may begin as just a project for English 101, I'm sure It will eventually be filled with great works of scholarly literature. Or it may end up as a blog. Who knows?
What's the deal with the dancing skeletons?
Those were the directions I got on the first day of classes on how to get to the right building. "Turn left at the dancing skeleton statue." Yeah, we have one of those. Google it.
