what the heck in the world.

Never thought this day would come. I might be the least likely candidate to start a blog. Sometimes I wish the internet did not exist. But I do enjoy reading blogs of friends and family far away--people I love who are captivating and talented "bloggers" (where does that word even come from?). But I never pictured myself sharing life in this way. I write in the comfort of my own home or backyard or journal...not online.

Never say never.

I feel compelled to write. The knowledge that life as I know it is about to change brings with it a sense of urgency. In these last days of college I am suddenly aware of the freedom I have taken for granted. Writing about it is my last ditch effort to commemorate and share this season. Also, I'm writing because my Uncle Jeff in AZ asked if I would consider blogging in the fall when I'm in Scotland. I told him maybe.
