Sick Day=Blog Day

So I have been planning to hop on the blog bandwagon for some time now. I've been pretty busy, but its 5 AM and I am sick so I figured now is as good a time as any.


I kind of feel like this guy, but a little less cool.


Everyone blogs these days, especially my roommates. Its hard to believe that this is my first blog post ever. My roommate Jamila has a blog about her emotional/social journey instigated by ordering a new pair of spectacles on the internet. My other roommate Adrienne has a blog about a freshman at our college with a cool name.

I started this blog to chronicle my domestic study experiences. Basically, I find myself with a hole in my heart because all of my friends have left me to study in far off lands. I can't go abroad because I have too many classes to take. I miss my friends but I hope that they are having a multiplex of formulative experiences and I am taking my domestic study opportunity to do the same. I hope that this blog will not only allow me to fill my heart-hole but also that it will encourage me to take advantage of the things to do and people to meet that are here in St. Paul, MN. My posts will be about cultural immersion and my adventures and all the new things that I learn and people that I meet.

Presently I am sitting on my couch wheezing and watching Fishing With John. The wheezing part is kind of annoying, but I really like this show. It is very relaxing to watch (obviously--its about fishing!) and also funny. It is from the 90s and features John Lurie, who takes a different famous guest on a fishing expedition for each episode. My favorite part so far is when Tom Waits puts a fish in his pants during the second episode.
