Academic Blogging- The beginning.

So after much procrastination I, Kaileigh Russell, have finally began my contribution to the big, bad world of blogging. I will not lie to you, at first I was terrified of doing this, which may play a part in me taking so long to actually starting one of these. It’s horribly humbling knowing that so many people in so many places will have access to my words, thoughts, feelings, and ideas. So let me give you a glimpse as to what this is all shaping up to be for me.

At first I was terrified about just how much this is actually worth. How can what I think be worth half of my overall mark! So I sat down, forgot to breathe for a little while, let the butterflies do their thing, and finally got over my initial panic attack. Looking at it now, I’m excited for this. It’s exhilarating, it’s so many different feelings at the same time knowing that what I think will be able to be seen the way that I want it to. I’ve secretly always wanted to start a blog, but was never really given a good opportunity to start one, until now. My role in the public has gone from consumer, to producer in a matter of quick minutes. I may not produce material for a large amount of people, but I will produce it nonetheless.

Starting my blog was a lot easier then I originally thought. I am beyond technologically challenged, and was expecting to have to wrestle with many sites, and information forms. I found a blog that attaches to my G-mail, which is a bonus, as it is one less sticky note of users and passwords that I have to keep track of. Within minutes, I picked my rocking background, a cool name, and voila! Blogger.

I can’t promise you that you will always agree with me, or even think remotely the way I do, but I will try to remain as open to any ideas, questions and points you have, and try to be as entertaining and creative with my own ideas.
