First entry

I've been reading many of my friends' (and other random people's) blogs lately and thought it might be fun to create my own. Yes, I'm easily influenced by others :-p. It's only been 1.5 month since I moved to NYC, but so much has happened already! Yes, it's NYC...not like middle-of-nowhere Ohio.I was hoping to go to sleep earlier but this online assignment for Language and Thought class took forever to finish. Basically, we have to post at least two interesting discussion topics on our online discussion board. I thought this assignment would be easy but since some of my obsessive classmates put very sophisticated questions on the web, I feel pressured to write super good entries. Plus, I don't want to appear stupid because these postings will be viewed by everyone in my class. So, I ended up spending all day/night writing up a discussion topic--and I'm still not happy with it! I'm going to post it online tomorrow morning anyways. It's only 10% of the grade after all. I should go to bed now...because I spent all day on this assignment and haven't done anything for the meeting with my advisor tomorrow afternoon.
