this blog is a place for me to keep the collection of all the my favorite essays that I've written in my college years. As an english major at USC I've written a LOT of papers and almost all of them have been written and re-written and changed and reformed over the years. These are my own palimpsests.

palimpsest- a definition
A palimpsest is a manuscript page, scroll, or book that has been written on, scraped off, and used again. The word palimpsest comes through Latin from two Greek roots (palin + psEn) meaning "scraped again."
