I’m sitting in the library under the pretense that I’m going to finish my financial accounting homework. After a rather harrowing drive to Cowles, during which I ended up stuck on Fleur with my foot to the floor and my car stubbornly refusing to move forward, I decided I’d rather take another stab at blogging.
I’ve been thinking about it for the last few weeks, wondering if I should scrap everything and start over. Maybe focus solely on running and leave personal stuff out of it. My rationale is that no one really cares about the annals of my personal life. One day, after reading several blogs authored by people I’ve never met and focused almost solely on their personal lives, I came to the conclusion that maybe I was being a little ridiculous. Why are they any more fascinating than I am? And regardless of who reads this, the main point is for me to take the opportunity to improve my writing, do something I love and work out my issues on paper…or screen…or whatever. (Disclaimer: I don’t in any way think I’m fascinating. I just don’t think I’m less fascinating than a lot of other people. There’s a difference.)
I’m not saying I’m going to jump right over to Facebook and add the link to my blog to my personal info. I’m not there yet. BUT, I will do my best to write consistently.
For now I’ll finish my financial accounting homework. (Side note: I finally know what my own personal hell would be. I won’t go into to details, but I will say it involves cash flow statements, balance sheets and percent of completion revenue calculations. Or more accurately, me sitting at a table creating cash flow statements and balance sheets based on the operating, financing and investing activities of a company who uses the percent of completion revenue recognition system. Is it even called a system?)
For those of you journalism majors wondering if you should get your MBA: consider how much you enjoy that little thing called “free time” before you dive head first into the world of graduate programs.
