The Introduction

When Dr. Sunday asked our class to start a blog my initial reaction was mild panic and frustration--of all the things she could have asked us to do why did it have to be blog?  I tried to start one before for the things I wrote, but opening myself up to the criticism of the internet was absolutely daunting, and now I have to do this for my class as well?-- joy.

I find myself in the quandary of what to write; nothing significant has happened in my life.  I have not battled a life-threatening disease, or traveled abroad and seen the world through the eyes of a stranger; my life is an average one; as are the struggles that I face.  The only thing that this blog can do is make me a better writer, and maybe give an audience to what I have written, though the words may be beaten down like an old path used by every writer.
