Packing?
JULY 29, 2010 LEAVE A COMMENT
Well of course the day before I go halfway around the world I would start to pack. And I’m glad I bought so many waterless toothbrushes.
If your reading this, you know how to use this blog a lot better than I do (and I’m not sure how I will re-read this once I’ve written it myself). I think the blog will separate my posts from everyone else? Maybe not.
But anyway, i’m Nate! I’m blogging because I was told that its mandatory. I wouldn’t call myself passionate about blogging. I see blogs as web pages my mother combs through in her spare time about Jesus and raising a family and everyone’s opinion about something or other. Despite that, I think that this blog will be a great thing for me and my friends going on this trip! But, I hope to achieve a few things with this website I have to use.
- I really, REALLY want my mom to stop freaking out. She can’t believe that I’m going all the way to China. And I think she’s really mostly scared about me going into a communist country.
- I want to be a writer when I grow up. This gives me a huge excuse to ramble about my day and try to impress people whom I don’t know that are reading my words at the same time!
- I think that this will in a way be a sort of competition between the people who care enough to be diligent about blogging, or the more refined term, “Prolonged Twittering“.
- I also think that the blog will maybe make me a little less homesick. Kind of. I mean, its like a text message home.
Again, kind of.
And if you know me well, you might be wondering, “Wow. How is he being so punctual about something mandatory?” And you’re right. How could Nate do this? The main reason is because I want some credit for using this site before I get to china. And I don’t know how well I’ll do with being on time in China. Why should international travel make a difference in my work habit?
So I think i’ll try and post pictures of china here. At first, I know i’ll think to use Facebook.
And yes mom, you can comment.
