I've always been hesitant to start a blog because I tend to think bloggers as people who like to inflict their opinions on others. But I'm come to understand alternative uses of a blog and have decided to create one of my own to chronicle my time studying abroad at University of Melbourne. Creating my first blog is a big step for me because I realize it can be a burden to keep the blog up-to-date. I barely post anything to Facebook and don't have a Twitter account so creating a blog seems like a giant leap beyond a witty, one sentence status update or 140 character tweet.
I'll try to update as much as I can so I don't have to answer a lot of emails from friends and family wondering how I'm faring on my trip. Let me know if you have any questions and I can answer them as best I can. Expect the next post sometime in February after I've landed.
Cheers!
