Intro Post

So...blogging. I've never had a blog before, but I daresay I read enough of them to have a good idea of how to write one...hopefully.

As intimidating as all of this kind of is, I do think this is an interesting way of writing for class--it's better than constantly writing papers and taking tests. Maybe this will even be enjoyable once we've got the hang of it...But I am determined to stay cautiously optimistic.

I was really worried when I found out we had to choose a topic to write about for this whole semester. What to write about? Luckily, we are free to choose whatever topic we want, something that interests us. But as I've said, we can write about anything...So how do I choose? Well, after looking at some of those examples shown to us in class, I finally thought of something. I don't really feel like writing about my intended profession. But I like the arts--a lot. So, while sitting in class, I toyed around with some ideas for artsy topics in my head. It came down to theatre and interior design. I decided I wanted to blog about theatre. It's a good topic, I think, and there's bound to be enough news to speculate about. But, today I thought I could broaden my horizon a little. I would really like to blog about performing arts in general: singing, dancing and drama. So, I think that's what I'll do. Hopefully this will turn out to be a good blog, and I think I've made a good choice as to what topic to write about.
