The First Week

Here's my first post, shortly before a few friends and I walk to the bar for some celebratory first-week-of-class drinks.

For anyone stopping by this blog at random, this blog will contain lots of things, and absolutely none of them will be useful to you in any way. With any luck at all, that means you might come back here. A lot.

I haven't actually gotten much of anything done yet. I did manage to decide to blog about my experiences at University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point, but other than that, I'm still working on it.

Thus far, I've really only managed to secure a job, get acquainted with the syllabi for all of my classes, and lob myself headlong over the handlebars of my bicycle. The blue fleece I was wearing even left a skid mark on the sidewalk, which I'm weirdly proud of.

This blog won't have any particular focus aside from that of my major, but I won't spend a lot of time getting very militant about the politics that I'm studying - if I've chosen a side so quickly, I'm not studying very honestly. In other blogs I've focused very specifically on American strategy in Iraq, but you won't see that so much here. This will be more of an experiential exercise, and the content is going to be whatever it will be.

Anyway, it's just about time to get intemperate, so that's where I'll leave it for now.
