As profound as I get on the third day of classes

Well, I suppose I should try this whole blogging thing out, even though I have yet to come up with any profound reasons for writing. I guess, to me, we ultimately write to connect with other people. Whether it's to help them understand information, make them laugh or trigger some other emotional response, more often than not, we write with people other than ourselves in mind. That's not to say readers are the only reason to write, but when we choose to put pen to paper, or in this case, fingers to keyboard, motivation often comes from who will, or will not, be reading. I distinguish between the two knowing that people write in diaries and journals all the time without intending for anyone, little sisters included, to ever read them, but in such cases, aren't the people they're connecting with themselves? Hey, I warned you at the beginning not to expect anything too profound.
