This is my 3rd or so attempt at blogging. I had a Blogger account back in 2009, but no one was on there. I have a Tumblr, but it’s not really the clean and “grown up” atmosphere I’m looking for. It’s a good place to share funny gifs or videos or fan art, but not for sharing thoughts.
I’ve seen that several of my friends are using WordPress. I would visit their blogs and would constantly be impressed with the clean layouts and the features available. It looked to be a very accessible site with a clean interface and structure, so here I am.
I must confess that I am no professional blogger and that I possess no great wisdom. I simply seek an outlet for my thoughts, no matter how base or profound. If no one reads this, great. If a lot of people read this, great. I find that I spend the majority of my free time thinking or wasting time. I feel that a blog will organize my thoughts and give me a way to keep track of how my thinking progresses or grows up as time passes.
I have all ready seen a progression in the blogs I have started in the past and abandoned. Looking back on these entries is always a fun trip down memory lane and a great way to immerse myself again in the circumstances I was experiencing at the time. This new blog has the good fortune of starting at a time in my life when I am starting another great change. In about a month I will be starting my graduate school internship at Meridian Health Services in Muncie. I will be seeing clients and basically be working as a therapist but not getting paid. That’s basically what an internship is, if you didn’t know. Of course, some internships are super cool and pay you, but I found myself pursuing the site that best matched my career goals instead of following the money. But that’s just me.
My internship also signals the start of my second and final year of graduate school, after which I will need to search for that ever-illusive entry-level job and become a productive member of society. That’s all a bit in the future, however. I like to enjoy each day and not think about what is ahead. That may be a poor way to plan a life, but hey, it’s worked for me so far. I hope I am faithful with updating this and I hope you continue to come back and read the nonsense that I will hopefully write.
Question: Are you a laid-back person who experiences life as it happens (like me) or a planner?
