Starting Off

So... after the Calgary Folk Festival, I've been thinking about what things are important to me. I guess those things are friends, family, memorable experiences (like dancing to Ani Difranco in the rain), learning, and MUSIC. Those are just the basic things, there are obviously many sub-categories within each section. I thought I would start a blog (take a leaf out of Sydney's book) just to keep people updated on what's going on. Since I'm leaving to travel in November for six months, I thought it would be a good way to keep in touch instead of sending a lot of individual emails. Plus I thought it could act as an archive. When you go on a big trip, it's easy to forget the smaller day to day things. Hopefully this will help me remember many different parts of it. I know it's still a while until November, but now I have some time to figure out how everything works and keep in touch with people heading off to school in the fall. Maybe I'll even be able to add pictures and videos (although I'm not sure how to do this from different computers without the software, suggestions anybody?). So... yeah. I hope this doesn't come off as loserish, I guess it's everyone's decision if they want to read it or not. This blog will really suck at first but maybe, with time, it will improve with the addition of more posts, pictures, videos, and comments. I hope everyone's summers are going well. Okay... bye.
PS- I couldn't think of any better names for my blog, suggestions are welcome.

  1. Hey Aleah...this is a great idea and I love how you are challenging yourself to be open and making yourself vulnerable by sharing your thoughts and experiences with us! I am excited for you and can't wait to come alongside of you in this journey! God bless! Cathy T.
