The Beginning of a Blog

So why start blogging now, you might ask.....

Well, I've been reading all my friends' wonderful and hilarious blogs for a while now. I started out as a very infrequent visitor to these blogs when I ran out of things to look at on the internet during class and needing something/anything to occupy my interest. But as this semester has progressed (a semester in which I quit working in KC for the first time since I began law school, and have thus been stuck and completely secluded in Lawrence), I have realized that not only are these blogs a good way to I get a quick chuckle in class, but are a fantastic way to stay updated on my friends' lives.

I am the first to admit that I am/have done a horrible job keeping in touch with many of my friends, and to all of them I sincerely apologize. There just never seems to be a good block of time between school/work/Wheel of Fortune (you'll learn that I am a devoted follower) to devote myself to what is sure to be a long and in-depth phone call. So - though they may not know it - I feel more in touch with my friends and updated on their lives via these wonderful blogs. Even if they are simply musings on cupcakes or wedding plans or wedding hair or wedding food, I still feel more connected to the people I love via blogspot. Hence, me starting a blog of my own.

And, to be honest, I'm bored in the middle of a 2-hour Constitutional Law session, and I've already read everyone else's blog updates, and I'm out of things to occupy me.

For lack of being able to come up with anything better (though I'm sure just about anything would have been better), I titled this blog "Up in the Air." It seems like so many aspects of my life are up in the air these days that the title is fitting: as evidenced above, I have a terrible time pulling my head out of the clouds and paying attention in class; I can be ridiculously indecisive; I have no idea where I'll be working or what I'll be doing when I graduate, let alone this summer; I can't even seem to decide on a schoool, as I will graduate in May 2011 with post-secondary credits from 7 schools; I think I know where I'll be living when the semester is over in a mont, but I'm not really sure; and just generally have no clue where I'm going with my life.

Enough for now. I am off to Taxation of Business Enterprises, a class in which (blech!) computers are prohibited and I must find non-technological ways to not pay attention.
