An Update...

Hey blogosphere, sorry for my prolonged absence these past several days. I started back to class on Tuesday, and being able to blog multiple times a day (or even once a day) with a full course load has proven itself a far more formidable task than I had bargained for. It's a pity too- there were SO many things I wanted to talk about this week: the whole SOPA protest on Wednesday, Pope Benedict's latest homophobic ramblings, Newt Gingrich's upset in South Carolina, the NFC/AFC Conference Championship Games, the absolutely brilliant "Glee" episode from last week, etc. Unfortunately though, every time I sat down to do some typing- my mind raced to the million other things I had to do that were related to school, work, or other more immediate concerns. The difficult thing about being a blogger, particularly an amateur one who is going to school full-time, is that the business of writing is always important... but it isn't urgent. It's far too easy to just put it off until tomorrow morning, then put it off until after class, then put it off until after work, until before you know it, it's been almost a week and you haven't posted a blog entry. I'm aware of this, and I am sorry for it. But- having become re-accustomed to the pace of college life, and having my course schedule now finally set (Ooooohhh!... I've got some good one's this semester too!- "Morality and Politics," "America as a Global Power," "History of Modern Science," and "Germany Since Hitler." I look forward to posting about the interesting things I learn in each and every one of them), I should feel somewhat freer to spend some time blogging over this coming week. I might not be able to post many long pieces again for a while (at least not during the week), but I wanted to get my followers up-to-date on why I haven't posted in a while, and what my plans are going forward. My passion for blogging and my desire to blog has not lessened at all, but the time I have available in which to indulge that desire has. I'll do the best I can going forward. :) Goodnight all.
