And so we begin!

I never thought about starting a blog before. To be honest, my day-to-day activities are not that interesting. But I'm trying to keep an open mind. I mean, how hard can keeping a blog be? Lots of people are bloggers, so why not just go for it?

As for the questions Tyler asked, I am a third-year chemical engineering student minoring in Spanish. When I'm not doing homework in Koffalt, I do enjoy running and spending the weekends unwinding with my friends. I'm pretty outgoing and I like to talk to everyone, so I hope you are willing to make some new friends.

The reason I joined my fraternity was because I was attracted to their sense of family here on campus. The Latino culture is very family-oriented, so it's nice to be able to share that same feeling with other students. At home I'm very much connected to my culture but during freshman year, I felt I was missing that connection. I found it in my fraternity.

Honestly, reading the entire Blogabus was overwhelming yet inspiring. Wanting change is one thing, but actively pursuing change is daunting. Reading it was a nice break from the usual syllabus format, though. All the youtube videos added a unique touch also. This class will definitely be different from the kinds of classes I'm used to taking. I'm hoping that since Tyler and Maggie seem really excited to teach this class, some of that enthusiasm will rub off on me.


Now that wasn't so bad. I think I could get used to this. Here's to blogging!
