For the past several months I have been considering the future that I want for myself. For a long time I've thought of my future as being a long way away, that I have a long time to consider what I want my life to be and a lot of time to prepare myself for it. But recently I've realized that I have only a few years before I need to be prepared to enter into the world as an adult. I've decided to start this blog to have a place where I can put down my thoughts and the things I write, but also to practice my literary skills, and just to have fun. Perhaps in this vast cyberspace there will be someone who will read what I put down, but whether there will be or not, I've decided to not care. I and my sister Camille had another blog that I've decided to abandon (she did so long ago) because the name is cheesy. Great reason, right? Gretchen Emily
