Q7, WINTERS, AND A CZECH DBP Between school, home, and school - blogging takes a back seat As loathe as I am to admit my own faults - something needs to be said. I am not living up to the expectations I set out for myself. I'm taking 7 classes, helping lead Darden Christian Fellowship, helping lead our 2nd year gift campaign, helping plan a faculty-student fireside chat, trying to find a way to get some skiing in (above with Megan), planning for an upcoming Darden course in Brno-Czech Republic, chairing an innovative committee to promote Darden in Charlottesville, and hunting for a job. Something HAS to give...
It was blogging.
Yeah, I know. This is poor form for a guy who supposedly leads the Darden Blog Team, but you know what? It was the least painful thing to let slide. I say all of this as an elaborate way of apologizing for my lack of blogging focus.
It's not that I haven't been writing a lot -I have- but it just hasn't been online. It's been for school. And taking a page from a friends playbook, I think I will begin posting excerpts from papers that I'm handing in on this blog. What do you say?
I can see the danger in moving too far away from the usual "chronicle my life" style of blogging that I typically do but, on the other hand, I often feel like this blog could benefit from discussions about people like Thomas Jefferson, Chinua Achebe, and Kazuo Ishiguro - all of whom I have been writing quite a bit lately.
In any case, I'm rambling. Expect me back soon with excerpts from several random papers. I'm sure it will be riveting.*
