Reaching the one-year mark…

I started this blog exactly one year ago with really no direction and idea of where it would be headed.  For months it basically remained idle, with an occassional post here and there about a movie or book that I had recently seen.  Not that many posts, not that many readers, not that big a deal. 

But then towards the end of the summer, Swarthmore propositioned me to blog for their admissions office.  I agreed, and well, here we are today.

What can I say except that I’m glad that I accepted.  I know that it always seems incredibly cheesy when people say things like “journaling/blogging helps me to reflect on myself as a person…it helps me to clear my head…it helps me to focus my life”.  Yes, it’s incredibly cheesy, but for the most part it’s true.  Plus, it’s a great way to procrastinate when you don’t want to start that 12-page paper due the next day. 

Upon returning to school in late January, it’ll be a new semester, a new year, and it won’t be pass/fail.  So wish me good luck, because I’ll be needing it…
