blogging

so after much internal debate, i've decided to start a blog. i wasn't going to keep one- when i write i write for me, for my own memory, and for a sort of release and clarity when something's on my mind, and the idea of keeping a travel blog at first seemed to me more for the benefit of others than for me. but after being here a couple weeks, i've realized that i want to keep a blog. the time here is flying by and i want a place to write down all of the everythings and anythings of my days, both so i can look back on it later and so i take the time to reflect and really soak things in as i go. and after reading a bit of quentin's india blog (www.quentinorem.tumblr.com), i realized how much i enjoyed being able to see what he's up to and share in little pieces of his adventure. so, my blog will be for all to share, but as for frequency/detail level/spanish vs. english/etc., no promises :) like i said, i write for me.
