Settling In and Starting Fresh

A friend of mine that I've known for nearly 3 years, from school and work, started a blog in February of this year about his thoughts on attending medical school this next fall. I was fascinated and inspired by his thoughtful musings. Since I started reading his blog I've become interested in the idea of blogging. Until recently I'd thought of blogging as basically spilling your guts to the world. Then I realized that I've done this for a long time...in my written or typed journal. My intent when recording my thoughts and feelings in my journal has always been twofold: to bring my mental meanderings out of my head where I can examine them better and to do so in a way that is comprehensible and accessible for my posterity (or whomever was fortunate or unfortunate enough to read it). So...I've been writing to an audience for many years, I just didn't consciously realize that I was doing it.
So, this is my attempt at "tri-ing" life. Yeehaa!
