What am I doing today?

Right now I am finishing a paper on Emerson. The paper is about the influence of Eastern thought on his writing (focusing mostly on 'The Over-Soul'). Not very enthusiastic about Emerson's philosophy and progress has been very slow. Feeling frustrated. Emerson was a proponent of 'living in the present moment' and I am not doing that right now. I want to go biking later.

Other things on the agenda:
WUTV meeting. We're getting ready to cover the VP Debates!
Need a tire tube... going to Big Shark Bikes later. Stupid for breaking the old tube.
Make dinner.
Plan out golf trip for Monday after next.
Wash clothes?
Peace Corps application?
Homework...

Why am I keeping a blog?

-I am keeping a blog because I want a place to keep my thoughts. Ideas that I have now will hopefully develop and become more useful later on in life.
-Right now I am a senior in college and after this point my life will be going in less predictable directions.
-Because I have been lucky enough to meet people from all over the world and I am not very good at keeping up these connections.
-I like writing and blogging seems like a good outlet for this. Blogging might also be good for me because I procrastinate a lot.

More on this later...
