			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Introductions, to me, are always the hardest parts of any conversation, speech, or paper. How do you make yourself appeal to a wide variety of people so that they will be interested enough to continue listening or reading? A public speaking teacher would say to use an attention grabber, so I will.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a loser. I will not contradict anyone who calls me such, and I&#8217;m not offended by it. In fact, I often take pride in it. I&#8217;m very different than the average college student (well, at least how I perceive the average college student to be). The number one (and only important) difference is that I love to read. I haven&#8217;t met many people who enjoy words as much as I do. I&#8217;m actually working on my own miniature library. I actually fell so in love with reading at such an early age that I decided to major in English so that I could teach it. But that&#8217;s enough about reading; I don&#8217;t want to bore anyone with it on the first blog.</p>
<p>Some other things I enjoy include chocolate (an addiction), softball, writing poetry, history, and hanging out with the best roommate ever. The last one is what I&#8217;ll write about most often. Even if I am a loser, things get pretty interesting around me sometimes. My mom, sister, and closest friends are my saving grace and I couldn&#8217;t live without them. They make my life interesting and they hold me up when I want to fall.</p>
<p>So I guess my introduction is over. Don&#8217;t worry, though-you will get to know me very thoroughly as long as I&#8217;m writing this. Happy reading!</p>
