New Beginnings

In contemplating that my transition from a undergraduate college student at the University of Notre Dame into a pharmacy graduate student at the University of Toledo constitutes that I am officially an "adult," I have decided to discontinue my Xanga and begin a blog. Although Xanga was used as a journal of my time under the Golden Dome, I feel that it is time for me to stop clinging to my past and begin a new chapter within my life. Perhaps I learned from Vinh that I must sever ties if I wish to place the past behind myself and move on. Hopefully I will be able to use the blog to record my experiences, write down my thoughts and feelings, remember all the good times, reminisce about the past, vent out all my sorrows and frustrations, or simply a place to think things through. Because I have never managed to stay in touch with friends well - either from home, from school, from camps, from conferences, or from random situations - I hope that the blog will be an opportunity for people to stay in touch with me and up to date with my life.

And thus begins my gradual transition into becoming a mature, settled adult with responsibilities and obligations ... or is it?
