Blogging

Blogging is a concept that is somewhat odd to me. Coming from the UK, perhaps one of the most introverted places in the world, the prospect of sharing my day to day thoughts with a potentially large audience is slightly daunting. However, as much as it is worrying, it also seems to be an interesting and rewarding experience (from what I'm told). Despite the thought of attracting attention to myself through some electronic rants, I must admit, it is a good feeling to write on this blog.

Furthermore, as I sat thinking of a good topic to begin with, I found myself organizing my week in my mind, which was a really rewarding side-effect that I didn't expect at all. Maybe this is a common thing? I wouldn't know. Speaking as an overly relaxed student, the thought of keeping up with all of my work has often been difficult, however, this week it has become increasingly easier as I have read other blogs, and thought of things I may be able to write about in future.

Admittedly, this post has sat in my "Drafts" folder for a week now, as I've tried to think of something else to include in my first post -- something profound or interesting -- however, I've found myself at a loss. Hopefully this might change in the future. I look forward to keeping up with my blog, it certainly is more interesting that writing generic essays. Maybe I'll even get a little better at sharing my thoughts and opinions in a coherent manner? Who knows.
