Through reading a friend's blog today, I stubled upon the fact that I too actually have a blog! My first (and only) post was in 2008 - and funny enough, I actually mentioned in it that I always start a journal and never follow up on it. Oops!
I also thought that nobody would EVER read it - but funny enough, someone actually left a comment!! Thanks Ms. Caddywumpus!
My first post was written while in college. Now, over two years later as a university student my issues with studying have not changed. I really do have a problem with it - I just cannot get myself to sit down and read the crap included in the overpriced collection of paper that we refer to as 'textbooks'. *Sigh*
I supposed that if I actually plan on graduating that I should figure out this little 'issue' of mine...
Anyone have any suggestions for what helped with them to buckle down on the books?

Look what became of my procrastinating...
I'm supposed to be studying right now. But that's seems to be my life.
That's all I say to myself when I'm doing anything other than studying. This little voice appears in my mind, incessantly repeating obnoxious (but warranted) messages such as: "You should be studying", "You're going to regret this, because you should be studying", "You're falling behind in your studying", and "study. Study. STUDY".
However, if I had listened to that little voice, I wouldn't have stumbled across the prompt that stated, "Create a blog!". Alas! Here I am! Welcomed to the world of blogging with open...keyboards?? I don't know, I'm still trying to figure out what the heck I'm supposed to write on here.
I tried to keep journals/diaries when I was younger. But those attempts were always abandoned. That's what happens when you have siblings, especailly when your diary filled with your most treasured secrets contains a lock made of 3 cent metal (aka. easily pried open). Or the book can be lost - I've done that too. I guess that it's more difficult to lose your computer...
I then return to the question that keeps popping up in my mind - how detailed should/can my posts be? Of course there will be no scandalousness or 'I love yous', but how much is too much safety wise?
Should I be worried about giving out my name?
I've always been a 'safe' internet user, but we all know that there's the creepy little pervs who wreck it for everyone. There's always privitizing the blogs, but I really don't want to do that. Not many people I know have blogs, so what's the point of writing when nobody reads it?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Rule #1: Save your blog intermittantly. Don't navigate away from pages or else you will lose your very first (awesome) publication.
(I guess I'm not so tech savvy after all.)

I'm on the fence.
