Nice to meet you.

Hello friends and strangers!

If you are reading this blog, thank you. It will be sure to be entertaining, at least by my standards. I'm going to start by talking about myself, because it's fun and easy and a good way to begin a blog of any type. My life this year has gotten busier than ever and I'm loving it. As my site reads, I am a sophomore at MSU this year. Several changes have occurred in my Montana life since I gained sophomore status. First of all, I now live in a house (technically a condo), which is quite a different living environment than the dorms. Second, I now have a job; I never worked during school last year because I was "adjusting" and I had money saved up. Now, ironically I work at the Miller Dining Hall (located between North and South Hedges) as a dishwasher. Third, I am an AdvoCat on campus, meaning I give a campus tour every Friday at 9 a.m. and do other various admissions-related activities, as well as some community service with other AdvoCats (so far we've helped re-paint the "M," check out Christy's blog). On top of this I am taking 16 credits—it makes for a busy schedule.

My favorite class this year is probably my Biblical Foundations of Literature class, taught by Michael Sexson. He actually requires us to have a blog for the class, which apparently will count for a substantial portion of our grade. You can check out mine here. It's the first time I've had to blog for a class, but Dr. Sexson insists everyone will be doing it in 10 years—we'll see. I like it because there's no specific requirements for what you write, as long as it relates to the class or something you're reading for it or any related ideas.

Now that I've established myself, I'll keep you posted on exciting developments in my life at MSU.
