I blog.

I started blogging way back before it was cool. We're talking 10 years ago. Then I kept blogging through the years when it WAS cool. Then it died down, I took a break, and now everyone is again tapping into their inner J.D. Salinger (may he rest in peace). However, I do fully support this movement.

I realize I have just about 4 weeks left until I re-enter the academic world again, this time as a graduate student. This makes me happy for so many reasons. The main one being that I'm bored out of my mind. I've taken the summer off to completely regroup and get ready for this next stage of my life. It was fun for a while, but my Type-A personality only truly was blissfully relaxed for approximately 2.52 days. I'm looking forward to the endless reading, the campus vibe, the feelings of accomplishment and defeat. However, most of all, I think I'm ready to jump head first onto a completely new ship. Feet first maybe? My interests are so varied. Undergraduate concentrations in technical writing, biomedical sciences, music, and religious studies. Who does that? Apparently, I do. But delving into public administration ? It's something I think I'll excel at, but it'll also be a challenge. But what is worth pursuing if it isn't a challenge? Staying on the beaten path is for the birds. I've been there and done that, and it's not for me.

I'm a loose cannon. I like turning heads.

I'll also be putting in hours with the Department of Political Science since they've decided to fund my studies. Between school, working, and keeping up my grueling workouts, I think I'll have my work cut out for me. It'll bring out the best in me. Or worst. But mostly best.
