I do like writing &#8211; it&#8217;s the &#8220;getting to it&#8221; stage that I find myself procrastinating. Or as one of my supervisors put it, I drag the wagon in circles. So true.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been struggling with an abstract idea that came to me &#8211; moving from being an exception to being a possibility.  I understand that often VEM-NESTs are seen as an exception to a widely held definition that native speakers are White.  I struggle with the implication that using my Canadian identity makes me &#8220;more&#8221; White [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=confessionsofanelt.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7234653&amp;post=244&amp;subd=confessionsofanelt&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
