I have not had a blog before nor am I particularly thrilled to have one now. I find blogging to be, for the most part, the epitome of narcissism. People posting their favorite Starbuck's drink, why they hate their boss, what happened to their favorite actor, and otherwise sharing things with the world that no one really cares about. I do not mean to say that blogging can't be a good insight to someone's personal life, but there is a line there. Blogging can also become something very cold and technical, more like a news reel of uselessness than something put up by living people. Again, the line. But if a blog is a nice mix of personality and of substance, then I find they can be enjoyable to read. There are my thoughts about the business, hopefully I don't bore other people half to death. That's why this is the tea party(the other reason is I really like tea...), a page out of Lewis Caroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland where nothing has to make sense and observations put forth often challenge common sense. Enjoy your stay!
P.S. I get a caramel macchiato usually, but am fond of the Godiva hot cocoa as well.

your amusing.
and it's totally true.
some people just talk about everything they like or hate or did that day--every single second of their day--and it starts to get on your nerves after a while. hopefully with a set guidline for each post we won't do that kind of stuff in this blog as much as other, just "personal," blogs.
Caramel Macchiato??!!! Hahaha...Anyway, I like the AIW theme. Hopefully the blogging won't be as narcissistic as it is on the general web. My hope is to create a blogging atmosphere that involves not just talking/writing but also reading/listening. When it becomes interactive, I think it has real value and hopefully students will be willing to do both. So far you have, and I appreciate it!
