I originally started this blog because it was something that was required for an English course that I was taking. It's been a few months, and I honestly haven't given much thought to this blog, or blogging in general, whatsoever. Lately though, I've been having a bit of an epiphany. My life is wonderful. I was fortunate enough to marry my best friend, I have wonderful friends and family, and I finally feel like I'm headed on the track that will make me happiest in my education. While I feel very fortunate to be so lucky as to have all of these desirable things going well for me in my life, I still feel like I should be doing more. I've decided that it's time for a change, and this is where it is beginning. I'm going on a personal quest for more - to do more, to help more, to see more, to know more. I'm going on a personal quest to live - truly live - more. This brings me to my first goal. In the spirit of Aldous Huxley, I've decided to start my journey in "living more" by reading 20 books over the next 40 days. Why 40 days? Well, it's the last day of the quarter, and I have exactly 40 days of no college until the next one starts. I'm anxious and excited to both get some of my writing chops back, as well as seeing the differences in myself after these next 40 days. Only time will tell.
