Another New Beginning

Beginnings. I have been getting a lot of new ones lately. New Beginnings. College is the most conspicuous. I, like so many before me, graduated and left behind high school and a lot of the activities I did just eight short months ago. Now I have had the chance to get a little acclimated to a university campus here at KSU. It feels good to have a clean sheet before me. But on the other hand, it is a little intimidating. Like couldn't they give us more than just marginal lines to write our new adventures and mistakes upon? Maybe a clean slate could mean something more like college-ruled, haha. A metaphor not to be taken seriously, please.
But here I stand with another new beginning. A Blog. I have decided to name it "It's a Mad World". Why? Because my life, even if just the way it is played in my head, is a mad world. Mad as in Insane. Like Frankenstein, or whatever figure pops to mind for you when you think "mad scientist". And the other reason? Let's face it. The song I allude to is just the right mixture of melancholy and irony to almost feel nastalgic and make one think about the world as a whole. The Big Picture.
I'm expecting to discover things about myself while writing in this blog. One thing I think I will find is that I look at the Big Picture a lot. Only time will tell what this turns into, however. Thank goodness, that to get me started I am going to have some guidelines for this new beginning. I have created thisblog for an English class I am taking. We will be given freewriting activities to post on our blogs. We recieve a participation grade, but mostly it is for us to practice writing out our thoughts as they come: the essence of rough drafts in writing. Also, it allows us the chance to get feedback from our classmates, who will be doing the same things. All I can say, if you are one of those classmates, is brace yourself. Mine is a Mad World.
