Here we go

Here We Go...........

When I decided to go to college I knew part of the challenge was going to be trying things I have never been exposed to. I mean really isn't that the reason most people go to school, besides getting that piece of paper to hang on the wall that tells everyone how valuable we are, we all want to learn new things to grow, to learn. Up until this point I have not really had to venture to far out of my comfort zone. While I spend a good portion of my time on a computer the majority of that time is spent playing online games, Facebook, and Twitter the idea of creating and maintaining a blog worried me a little, specially because I have never even read a blog. My opinion of Blogs were they were done by a bunch of people who had way to much time on there hands and liked to hear themselves talk. So time will tell if my opinion changes but I am at least open to the experience.

And with that out of the way lets move on to the assignment at hand.
