I never thought I would do this

I am not the type of person to get sucked into this kind of hobby. I am however the type of Gemini that will try and take on a huge project (if this is not one I do not know what is), and then forget it halfway. Hopefully this doesn't drop to the bottom of my list of time killers anytime soon.
I've started this because of two people:
Alex asked me the other day via e-mail if I blogged, and I said I didn't have the time. But when I thought about how many time per work night I check my email hoping some friend of my was suffering from insomnia and felt chatty, and how many useless eBay and google searches I do I thought this might be a slightly more fufilling alternative.
Tracey, who was my Native American Lit Professor, let us know about her blog the last day of class, and that night here at work I decided I couldn't help but look for it. I was really impressed by some of the things she had said, and realized it might be valuable. Since, I have been to some of her yoga classes (and stand taller for it. Thank you Tracey!) and have sort of stepped over that instructor/ student line (that was never REALLY a huge barrier, but still kind of there) and I am really sad to see her go home. We have the same feelings about UT and Austin, whereas I was beginning to think I was the only person not enjoying the University of Texas, and that there must be something wrong with me. I really admire her and all of her kindness. She has been a huge help to me with advice from long distance relationships to chronic fatigue syndrome. Though I am generally not good at keeping in touch with people, I think that I will miss her, especially her class, and thought that if I were going to try and keep up with her life via her blog I might as well offer her the same option.
So here we go, the debut of me making all of my personal feelings very public, and probably embarrassing myself or whoever is reading 100 times over. Thank god I can edit when ever I please.
