Here Goes Nothin!

Making the adjustment into "real" life after graduating college was very difficult for me - so difficult in fact that I ran away to Africa to figure myself out. That trip helped quite a bit, but I still find myself feeling imbalanced.

One of the things I have found myself missing about being a student is being required to absorb and synthesize information, and then convey that synthesis to others. Normally this is reflected in the oh-so-commonly-assigned "Paper." Despite the late night runs to Dunkin Donuts, the vehement cursing of professors' names, and the inevitable standoffs with printers and USB memory sticks, being forced to sit down and sort out my own thoughts was always really good for me. Keeping a blog of my activities while I was in Morocco reminded me of this.

I am interested in the inter-connectedness of all things. Lately I've been feeling like I have too many ideas to focus. I have a hundred things I want to do running through my head, and they are all crashing into each other, making it impossible for me to accomplish any of them. My hope is that the more I write and draw pieces of information together, the more balanced and fluid my thinking and actions will become. A more egotistical hope is that those who read this blog enjoy it and are glad they stumbled upon it or were told about it.

So here we go!
