I started this blog as a chance to write. In my D&C class we’ve had to keep a reading journal about our thoughts. Since I’m studying exercise science, I never really have a chance to write. When we took our first D&C test, I’m pretty sure that’s the first essay test I’ve taken in 4 years. Now, especially since I have to take 2 english classes over the spring, I should get back in the habit of writing. One quote that always comes back to me from high school is: “I don’t know what I’m thinking until I say it, and I don’t know what I’m saying until I write it down.” I’m saying that I think about high level things often, that’s the problem. I’m trying to get myself back in the habit. And If I make myself accountable to this blog it will force me to think about and take sides on ideas. I really love to be informed on the issues and their causes. I try to stay current as best I can. Politics aren’t that important to me right now, I’de rather study international relations issues. They are a heck of a lot more interesting to me. I don’t know exactly what I’ll write about, just whatever I want to go off on: natural selection, the Red Sox, something I learned about the body. It just lets me think and express those thoughts. It gives my brain a chance to be creative.
