inspired by my friends who have shared their thoughts and ideas in such fora and eager to enter this new generation of electronic communication, i have created this blog, which i expect (and maybe even hope!??) few will ever read. having never been a part of facebook or myspace or even instant messaging, i don't really know what to expect from this new-fangled piece of technology known as blogging. if i don't tell anyone about it, will it be a complete secret from the world? will i then be able to record all of my feelings without fear of anyone actually knowing them? will this blog end up being the electronic version of that damn tree in the forest that can't seem to stand up on its own?
regardless, entering into the blogging world at this point in my life can be nothing but a bad idea. i have 8 days until i take the boards, followed by two weeks of unfettered vacation time and then (cue scary theme music) five weeks of surgery! so why am i starting this blog now when i have plenty of other things to focus on? maybe it's because i'm fully aware of how lonely my life has the potential to become over these next few months. maybe it's because i know that over this next year, i will be making some huge life-defining decisions and i want to be able to go back somewhere down the line and figure out exactly how those decisions actually got made. or maybe because i'm much faster at typing than writing long hand and thus, i never write in my journal anymore. well...hard tellin not knowin
