Really, this is just a test run to see how committed I can be to this. I have a lot of respect for bloggers and I hope that I can become a positive addition to this vibrant community. Here is what I expect you should expect from this blog:
- Travel photographs - The inspiration for this blog was my upcoming trip to South Asia, specifically Bangladesh and hopefully India. Months ago I gave into temptation and bought an absurd camera, and I'm determined to make the purchase worthwhile! I also need to thank two friends, Margaret and Phoebe, for encouraging me to take the blogger leap.
- Medical School - Pictures may have been the beginning, but they don't have to be the end. I've graduated. Finally. Now the next chapter begins. I want to share this next stage in my life. College was typical, nothing to really write home about. But med school is a bigger, scarier, disgustinger bag of bodies (Oooh, was that tasteless? You'll survive). I have a feeling adventures will ensue.
- Self Reflection - Confessions are good for the soul, but they are hard to do in person, one-on-one. Don't think that's dramatic. Everyone has issues. Some are inconsequential, some are earth-shattering ball busters that are fit for any good prime-time drama cliffhanger. No worries, mine are never the latter -- knock on wood.
- Evolution - Like most people, I want to grow as a person. I think it will be a fascinating journey to use this blog as an expression of that.
BTW, can you tell I'm a card-carrying, cord-bearing member of Nerds International, University of Iowa Honors Chapter?
Well I guess there's no real point in drawing this out. I mean, who's going to even read this blog? It's not like anyone in cyberspace is going to google "Journography" on a whim. Oh well, I'll just pretend this blog is an exclusive club and I'm only inviting my close friends to see it.
Leave comments! Be Merry! Make friends!

I've found setting an achievable goal for myself helps me be consistent with blogging. I used to be hit or miss as well...partly because I was so busy but partly because I didn't have a discipline built in. Now I aim for 2-3 posts a week. I don't succeed every week but I get pretty close most weeks. Short, consistent posts are better than long rare posts.
You're a good writer and have interesting experiences to share. So set a goal and you're off!:-)
That's great advice. Let's start with modest goal. One post a week, two if I'm feeling particularly wanton.
