Well, "blogging" sure seems to be the trendy things to do these days. I was, at first, pretty skeptical of starting a blog. Especially since I was interested in professional journalism, and well let me just say that "blogging" isn't too conducive to its philosophy. Anyway, I am reconsidering making my entries more frequent. More on this critical juncture in my life...ha ha....
Blogging: if it isn't the ugliest word in the English language, its pretty damn close. It sound so gross. Like throwinig up or something. Hmm...maybe in essense that's what it really is. Just regurgitating thoughts and typing them in this nice little format. Do I sound like a Scrooge? I really don't mean to.
I guess I started to reconsider this phenomenon after a series of a few incidents. I think it started when I read someone else's blog who said that just publishing her thoughts everyday made her feel better. I've always tried to keep a journal, but it seems to "collect dust" more than anything. I always have good intentions to keep it going, but as always, more important things take priority. Maybe since I'm on the interenet at least once a day, I can just jog some ideas down when I feel like it. It's an interesting way to catalouge the ideas within one's head. Fascninating really.
Secondly, my mom sent me the link to Jessie Lybeck's blog. It was so amazing. She's currently spending a "Semester at Sea" and I loved seeing what she's experiencing right now. I definitely don't have anything as bohemian as that in my life right now, just school, work, and Minnesota. But, maybe this will be my inspiration to do something outrageous. Just so I can put it on my blog....maybe....
Lastly, my mom recently told me that she found my blog and looked at it. I was pleasantly shocked since I created this site last spring for one of my classes. Nevertheless, I have only one entry, about my first ride on the lightrail system. How exciting! But really, it was an interesting thing to document. Now that at least one other person has read this (besides my Professor who graded the assignment), perhaps someday, someone will somehow stumble across this site again. Wouldn't that be fabulous!?
So...here begins my official journey into the Blogmosphere...
"One giant step for man....one giant leap for mankind!"
And THAT my friends, is how I see it!
