New address - Outward thought

I have changed my address because annaharperco was lame. It is really annoying when the names you really want are taken by people who only have one post on their blog from 2002.

But I think that "outward thought" is an appropriate title because I am blogging about environmental issues (aka the great outdoors), but also because this is about me thinking outside of myself. I am not the most important person around, although often I act like it (aren't we all a little selfish?). Putting yourself second or third (or 6 billionth) involves a little bit of inconveniencing and a bit of going outside of your comfort zone, which is why I am not very good at it. But, that's what this blog is about, getting better about not wanting to be first!

Sorry I haven't written in a while, hopefully I will find time this weekend. :)

A Long Way to Go

I don't want this blog to be all about what a wonderful psuedo-hippie I am becoming. I am lacking in many ways. I'm not trying to be self-demeaning here, just realistic so I will be motivated to do better! So let's see where I need improvement ...
1. I did not ride my bike to work at all this week, even though it has been pretty nice the last two days.
2. I drove, by myself, nearly 300 miles on Tues/Wed to go to Winter Park
3. The only thing I've done on the list in my previous blog is #2
4. Also, I want this blog to be about social responsibility, but I have done very little in this arena. My excuse is typically, "I'm a really busy grad student and maybe when I am done with my Master's I'll have time to commit to something!" But, I have realized that this Master's thing is moving really slowly, so instead of waiting to live my life I should be active now! I am kind of interested in volunteering at a women's clinic.

That's it - short and sweet! I hope I can stay motivated and get some stuff done!! Thanks for reading.
