Just what is this?

So just what is this? Well, it's a blog. (If you're reading this you already knew that).

This is a blog essentially for me-- a place where I can write about my experience as a college graduate in the "toughest job market since the Great Depression"... my experience discerning what I'm supposed to be doing right now professionally and personally...and all the "stuff" that goes with it (my high school religion teacher is cringing right now at the use of the word "stuff").

I am not particularly witty or funny; I'm not the most observant or thoughtful person, either. I have tried writing for myself, but for some reason writing in a public realm just seems more personal, more fitting for the times and the situation I am in. I have ruminated over writing a blog for some time now; I generally find them narcissistic and just lame, and for this reason I don't read blogs on a regular basis. However, after careful thought over the summer and some self-reflection, I believe having a place to put my thoughts will help me become more observant and thoughtful, help me focus on what I need to focus on, and remember who I am while discovering who I am becoming.

I'm just trying to remember that it's all about the zig and zag...
