Explaining Myself

I am writing about my time abroad in this blog for the following reasons:

1. My memory is not very good, and I have a habit of forgetting even the most memorable events in my life;
2. I wanted to let my friends in on my experiences, and this is an easier way than repeating a story a hundred times;
3. Blogs are the cool thing to do (*cough*AndrewJoshLaurie*cough*).
