I guess this could be called a pseudo-birth, per se, as this will be my first true venture into the blogging world. I am not one to wholeheartedly embrace all that technology has to offer, and am more likely to err on the side of overly-critical. (This says the girl whose Blackberry is more of an appendage than tool.) Well, here I am.
My decision to create a blog came this morning after listening to NPR (as I always do), and heard that the Library of Congress has decided to begin archiving Twitter posts. Twitter posts? Really? (clearly I disagree) Upon hearing this I have decided that I might possibly have to join in the fun, but rather than posting that I happen to be walking my dog (which I don't have, and am fairly sure my cat's would be opposed to leashes), I should do something productive with this site that to me only seems to stimulate those who have a need for constant visual stimulation. The resulting idea: turn this into something useful.
Currently, I am three weeks from finishing my fourth year of college. Four years ago, I believed I would be graduating at this time. Rather, I've opted (not been forced) to enter into a fifth year to further my studies before graduate school. What do all good grad school prospects do with their spare moments (other than blog, of course)? Pour their lives and souls into studying for the GRE.
So, how does this correlate with Twitter? My plan is to post my studies, definitions I run across, etc, as twitter posts. Help myself, help others... Maybe I should get volunteer credit for this? Something productive should come from people being glued to their computers (as we all undoubtedly are).
Now, all I have to do is bring myself to register for an account...
