So. I'm starting a blog. I'm new at this so we'll see what happens. I just spent 15 minutes researching which site had the best user ratings (like it really matters). You're either going to read this or you're not. I figure if at least one person reads this who isn't a close friend or my mother - that's a major win for me and pretty amazing. Ahh, the wonders of cyberspace. I mean I still spiral every time I use my debit card at a store, so starting a blog is kind of a big deal. But anyways, I'm rambling.
The point of this whole excursion is for me to create an outlet so that I will be able to sort out the next 9 months of my life. I am trading my junior year of college for (essentially) a tour around the world to study globalization. In 19 days I'll be leaving for Washington D.C. From there, I'll be on retreat in Virginia for 2 weeks. Then I'll be off to India, Tanzania, New Zealand and finally Mexico. I cannot even explain how completely appreciative I am for this opportunity, but it's been a lot to deal with. I'm leaving everything I know at a time where I finally am finding myself, giving up so much when things are finally starting to fall into place and putting myself in a shitload of debt. In spite of this, if given the chance, I would never change my decision.
I meant to start this blog a few months ago but my journal-ing ended up being a mixture of rants, bits of poems and non-sensical riffs on various events that have happened in the past few months. I might make my next post some poems I've written lately. I'm not promising anything fantastic - it just might be nice to share.
