My fears and goals in Starting A Blog

Samm is in California on a bus, and I am home in Chicago, productively, starting a blog.

The problem with a blog is that I really need to have low standards to start out. In my imagination, my blog should be deeply profound, incredibly witty, and gorgeously put together. Like how I wish I was. So I'll try to accept the flawed nature of my blog as a metaphor for myself. Here I am, here is me and my thoughts.

We are moving to Pittsburgh, PA in ... oh, about 2 weeks or so. The mind reels. I have an interview a week from tomorrow with Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry where I hope to start an MA in historical theology in September so one day maybe I can be a professor (or something). I also have an interview that day with Northwestern Mutual in downtown Pitty. My plan - my scheme - in moving involved a lot more school and lot less work than I think will actually entail. I have this fear that I will get hit by a bus and think as I'm hit that I should've lived wildly in the moment... but then, there is always the practical side as well. I might not get hit by a bus, and in that case it would be a lot better to have worked another year in an office and have my grad school essentially paid for.

So, that's my current plan. Start school slow, work hard, save up, and then ditch work and go to school like my life depends on it.

I also have plans for an herb garden (which is a fairly realistic plan I think) and recording a new album (which is much less realistic seeing as I've written one and half songs in the past two years. But. Good to have goals).

So I plan to record my progress theologically (slow though it may start out) and in my herb garden, and even maybe in my music on this blog so the ones who are dear to my heart but far from my home can peep in (or on?) and know what is new in the life of Kathryn.
