Importance
What if I were writing about something important here? That would show a lot of determination to pass the course, to impress whomever is reading it (which I doubt is more than a few at most), or to actually prove myself to my colleagues. Now, I am not knocking the blogging, I don't mind it, really. It's one of the easier grades I suppose I'll be getting this semester, collectively. Is that how I should go about thinking of it? Hell no, it's not. So, from this post forward, I'll be putting a little more work into this whole process, and try to show that I am trying in this class, which is an oddity, no offense. So, since a great deal of the people in my class don't know me that well, professor included, I guess I would like to make this a form of introductory.
My name: I hope you're all familiar with, honestly. I do have a nickname, however, to anyone who has met me in the last... six years. I have had the nickname with me since the seventh grade, but no one here is familiar with it, which feels alien, to be honest. But that doesn't mean I would like to be known as that name again, even though I more than embraced it (I tagged the school with it, still there). I feel that this is where careers are made, where more matters than it did in high school, and where students need to try their damndest to make a name for themselves and further their own impression upon their institution.
Man, this is boring, not for me, but for you guys and girls, I'm sure. Having to read what I think can't be too fun to a lot of you, unless your minor is psych.
(Also, sorry for the weird, incoherent, almost preachy first blog, but I have to get used to this.)

Not boring. I think it's a good start. Ya gotta start somewhere, right?
I'm always very interested in names - what people are given and what they take for themselves. Eckhart Tolle said that we are given a name, and the we spend the rest of our lives trying to find out what our real name is (or something like that). So, yeah, now is when it starts in earnest. Glad you're in the class.
That wasn't boring really. I enjoyed reading it more than some science fact or the world flooding due to the Himalayas melting (that was mine). I thought it was good. I don't think you ever posted it but perhaps I just missed it. What was the nickname, unless you don't want us to know?
Thanks, and it's 3-6 (read three-six). I just don't tell many people around here because I end up telling someone who thinks it's satanic or something.
This was actually interesting to read. My blogs are always so boring, but you are funny. It was also great to learn a few things about you. =]
