This is my new blog for the school year and, as you can see, I've named it "Emerald City". Now you may be asking, "Why 'Emerald City'? Isn't that the weird green capital of the Land of Oz?" Why yes indeed it IS the capital of Oz, but it is ALSO a nickname for Seattle - as Seattle is green year-round. My college, Seattle Pacific University (SPU), is located in - get this - Seattle, Washington, and I wanted a title for my blog that sorta went with where I was.
This past summer I challenged myself to blog every day, no matter how busy or tired I was. I'm happy to say that I have succeeded (with the concession that on three small trips I had no internet access and had to post those days' blogs when I got home)!! Now, that was fun and all, but also a serious commitment and took a lot of effort sometimes (especially when I didn't have anything to write about...). Here is the link to my old blog, "One Hundred and Eighteen Days of Summer": http://onehundredandeighteendaysofsummer.blogspot.com/
I hope that Emerald City will have new posts two or three times a week accounting some of my adventures, thoughts, discoveries, and just day to day musings for your (but mostly my) enjoyment! No promises, because I know the first one or two weeks of college may be hectic, but I do WANT to post that often. :)
While not blogging, I will be exploring SPU and Seattle as a whole! Whoot! I move in tomorrow!!!
