Disclaimer

As I am writing my research paper, ordering stuff online, and doing tons of other preparations for my trip I have finally decided to break down and make a blog. I could send out the little mass emails like most people at Furman do, but then someone who is not on the email list always gets offended and half of the people receiving the email simply delete it because it is too much to read and they complain about how all the foreign study students are clogging up their inboxes.

So this is a warning.

I know most people with blogs are ridiculous and all they do is complain about how their lives and the surrounding world are terrible. Also, the entries always take at least 30 minutes to read. The bloggers seem to forget that hopefully the readers have a life of their own and they don't have time to read pages of nonsensical drivel.

Therefore, I'm going to try and not be one of those people.
