will there be a ropes course?

Posted by Elizabeth Dunn

Start another blog? Sure, why not? I already write a blog over here (http://www.smalldots.wordpress.com) and have maintained a personal blog for years (anonymously, mind you), and have been a weekly contributor to a few humor blogs, but never have I blogged my SCHOOL experience...

And that's because when I was last in school, blogs hadn't been invented yet.

That makes me sound hysterically old, when I am not. I am only 37, which I believe technically makes me *adorably* old. Just for the record.

So yes, I am apparently starting my MBA in a matter of days, as orientation begins this Saturday.

At the beginning of this semester, the Writing for Pr class was given the assignment to blog about a specific topic of their choice, and create fourteen blogs. My choice was about the live showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) that I do each Saturday night in Harvard Square.

First of all, I want to address that blogging is not my particular choice of things to do, especially if I am assigned to do them. I feel blogging should be about a personal choice, but forced to write a blog each week takes the fun away from blogging. I also noticed it was hard to stay on topic. I like to write and review about everything and give my full opinions, blogging I found very short hand: this is what I did, this is what I liked or disliked, the end. I also do not mind the informal writing; the experience of forced blogging would not have been my choice. Also, call me old fashioned, I think doing quick and short stateme ... more »
