This blog is a companion to my coursework for American Conversations (a class at St. Olaf College). My posts are in response to readings and course related experiences.

Admitted students day (and hosting two prospies)
This weekend was admitted students day for the class of 2015, and I served as an overnight host for two prospective students. One from Stillwater, MN and another from Kansas. When I mentioned that I am a part of American Conversations, they had a lot of questions and it was hard to explain exactly what we have done for almost two semesters. I showed them my blog along with DeAnne's, but that wasn't enough. In short, I said that it was a discussion-based exploration of Democracy from the start of American history up until the present. Above all else, I tried to express my love of the program and subject matter without resorting to typical admissions cliches. I guess I'm still in the process of understanding American Conversations.
