Hello everyone. So I’ve decided to use my blog for something more rather than letting it all be related to the academia. A sort of diary of my thoughts, feelings and who I am in general. We lead a very fast-paced life and there are moments where you tell yourself “if only I had a remote and could press pause.” I’ve had moments where the days just blur together and we feel as if we’ve had no time for yourself; to just sit down and contemplate where our lives our heading, to sit down and just have a little me time. When we get home the first things we university students do are to either take a nap or turn on the computer and enter the realm of Facebook. If we spend that much time on the computer, why not do something else? Why not have a little me time in the process?
And so I begin this process. As cheesy as it may sound, I am going to start a little relationship with my online diary (sounds better than “a blog” doesn’t it?). I know, we’ve got other social networks at our fingertips but “status updates” or “who I am” can not even begin to capture the complex entities that make us who we are. I want to be able to show people a different side of me, a side that portrays who I really am as a person and just express what goes on in my head at a day to day basis. One of my good friends here at UBC, David Huynh (here’s a shout out to you David) began doing this a couple of months ago, and I was inspired by his ability to capture life with words. Just like him, I love to write and I believe that here is a good place to continue that passion.
I am Monica and this is my story…
