The Obligatory Introductory Blog Entry

Yup, I'm here.
And now you are reading about me being here.
'Where is here?,' you ask. Here is Gunajuato, Mexico for 2 weeks (to frantically improve my Spanish), and then here will be Leon, Mexico for 4 weeks (where I will use that frantically improved Spanish to frantically do a clinical internship through the medical school here).

So first off, just so I get this out of the way, I apologize for any typos, mis-use of punctuation, misspellings, and, what the hell, poor grammar. Surprise, surprise, I am using a Spanish keyboard and, lucky for me, I get to blame it for every mistake I make while typing this blog.

This is my second ever attempt at a travel blog, except this time I am using a new format - a blog blog instead of a travel blog. The travel blog was sort of a blog with training wheels - it helped me figure out titles, provided me with maps, and held my hand in case I decided to upload pictures. Now, although I have no new qualifications to merit this, I have graduated myself. This is partly because, in my dream world, I imagine myself transforming this travel blog into a blog blog. I like to imagine that in the coming years, I will write very witty, insightful things that will change the world (slowly at first, of course, but eventually, they will lead to a massive revolution the result of which will cause world peace, eliminate poverty, and make the skies turn a nice shade of purple). But right now I'm just hoping that I will be able to do things like upload purty pictures and provide you with links to maps of places without any assistance.

Because my attention span hates it when people have really long blog entries, I am going to try and keep them short. Now, those of you that know me (which is probably all of you) know that my definition of short is slightly different than the dictionary definition (in that I see myself as tall and I tend to write incredibly brief emails, and, for the most part, I don´t talk very much). So, in order to conform to other people's standards of short, I sometimes may sporadically cut a story off only to continue it in the next entry. It may be a little confusing because blog entries are listed with the most recent one first, but I think it will be fun, like little chapters of a story. And if you don't like it, well, consider it tough love. Or you could just stop reading.

I will try and proofread.

And with that, time for a new entry.
