My blogs
| Introduction | Originally, I started writing this blog, Dispatches from the Real World, for my friend Sam. Sam and I go to school together, but in a few months, I'm going to be leaving. I'm hoping this blog makes it easier for her to stay up on what's going on in my life. Since creating this for her, I decided that I should just open this blog up to any of my friends at MSU, with the intention of making it easier for those friends to see what's happening with me. :) |
