Farewell!

Ok, so it is very obvious that I have not been updating this thing in a timely manner. This has been mostly due to the fact that I have started journalling - which is what this blog was originally intended for - but in my journal I can record more AND not have it seen by everyone who has access to the internet. In short: at least for now I will not be updating this blog again. Who knows, I may start posting again in the future...

New look

Is the new look acceptable?

*Phew*...finally a break

The last, well, month has been incredibly hectic and draining. I have not journaled or posted anything here for a while and now I finally have a little while to do it in. First off, a funny comic.

Now that I got that over with, I will discuss what is on my mind, which is unfortunately incredibly un-interesting. Anyway, I have been looking at messenger bags again and have almost completely decided to get a chrome citizen with a black buckle (if I actually end up getting a messenger bag at all). Ever since my old Heidelburg University messenger died a while back after only about a year and a half of medium use I have been pining for a bag of messengers that is more durable. I cut off the emblem from my old bag to use as a patch on my new one in order to remember my trip.

Okay, turns out that I cannot write a paragraph that flows right now. Signing off.

HRM

This week has been hard, and this weekend is filled with take-home tests. I don't know how well I actually did on either of my tests, but I think I did decently. Now if only I completely understood all the material.

Reminiscing

I have just reaped one of the many benefits of keeping this blog going: I read my old posts and remembered life gone by. It is amazing that I am going through the same thing now that I went through a year ago and six months ago...will I never learn?

Journaling

I have been inspired by my j-term trip to journal. By "inspired" I mean it was part of the class that we had to write a journal entry every day and now I am just used to it. Really, I started this blog to do more or less of the same thing: record what is happening to me so that I can look back at it in the future and laugh at myself. I cannot, however, put anything I want on this blog since anyone with a computer that has a connection ranging from 150 baud to infinite gigabits can access it. This is the purpose of my journal.

I am trying to think of a name for it right now so I can label it and tell it apart from my other moleskine journals. Hmmmmm... maybe "man-diary."

Oops!

Well, someone failed miserably at keeping this updated on his trip...oh well. I am currently back at Taylor and working on my homework for the Footsteps of Paul trip. Just putting the finishing touches on my paper, then it's on to my picture slideshow.

I also just looked up the correct punctuation usages for "it's" and "its." Let me expound for those of you which find this confusing (don't worry, I do, too):

it's - a contraction for "it is"

its - the possessive form of "it"

I realize that this flies in the face of putting an apostrophe s ( 's) at the end of a word we want to make possessive, but that is the english language for you.

Greece

So currently I am in Thessaloniki, Greece, and am having a great time. I would have updated this earlier, but everything was in greek, so it took me a while to figure it out.I probably won't post too many huge updates because I already have to journal daily (something I am actually not always doing) and I don't feel like typing it out again. As for pictures I am trying to post them every once in a while on Facebook.
