Since waking up this morning, I have become very excited about this blog. I am excited for what will come of it, and the discoveries that will be made not only for myself but for readers as well (whether its 5 or 50 readers? who knows!).
I did not sleep well last night. Ideas for where I can take this blog and the endless directions that I can go kept rolling through my mind last night. I also thought about the people that I wanted to read it (family, close friends, some co-workers etc.). Then, I thought about the people that I DIDN'T want reading it (you know who you are!). As these thoughts crossed my mind, I immediately started to worry about what people would think of my writing, and what I had to say. Then I thought to myself about how part of being a writer is putting yourself out there and expressing yourself. To Hell with those that don't 'like' what I have to say or would do something differently (or, 'better'). This is what I write, this is who I am. So for those of you who I may not know very well, or if you think you're in the category of people that I dont want reading this..please, keep reading!
okay.. maybe I should introduce myself a bit more before we get knee deep into the blogging process. I am a (almost) 20-year-old that attends the University of Minnesota. My Scheduled graduation date is in 2012, but I have changed my major from Nursing to English to Communications and back to English again so many times, that it may take a little bit longer then expected to graduate. If it weren't for the student loans that I have had to take out since beginning college and will continue to have to borrow, the extra time in school wouldn't be such a bad thing. In addition to a special interest that I have in literature and writing, I have the desire to travel. I know and understand that many share this same passion with me to see the world. But for me, it is not just the destinations themselves and the tourist attractions that beckon me to them..its the experience. One day when I decide to finally go over seas, I want to experience the culture as the natives do. I think that that is the only true way to completely understand what it is like in other countries and to fully appreciate the opportunities that I could have.
As of right now, the places that I most want to go to are: London, Paris and the French country-side,a tour all over Italy, Prague, Amsterdam, Ireland and Greece. Maybe even Cairo, Egypt or other countries in Africa.
I suppose the world is the limit, and I am a dreamer...but I plan on making all of this happen one day. How? well, that is still to be determined.
peace out,
Court
