皆もすなるブログといふものを、私もしてみむとてするなり。

So after years of silence, I'm finally going to try blogging. I don't know how long it will last - I've never had the tenacity to keep diaries and such - but I will see!  Like most blogs, this will be mostly for my own record keeping, but maybe someday I will write something worthwhile enough for others to read.  Who knows.

Anyway, the reason why I'm doing this is that I have been inspired after reading some blogs.  I think one of the best way to keep the motivation going is to read the things passionate people write.  Through writing, passion permeates.  I just need to remind myself to read and be inspired when I feel down.  I feel inspired to at least keep a record of myself at this point in time, so perhaps the I of tomorrow, I of the day after tomorrow and I of next year might be inspired to write as well.  I want to get this cycle going. Perhaps.

Today I'm struggling to start the Statement of Purpose for the graduate school application.  I must finish it this weekend.  This requires a lot of soul searching...  this is forcing me to really identify why the heck I want to do this.  That really IS the question.
