First Posting

I can't believe I've created a blog. As if cyberspace weren't already cluttered with enough random self-expression that will never be read, I am adding to it. The blame, however, belongs entirely to Funky Pigeon.

The name of this blog, the Perpetual Student, derives from an (affectionate??) jab periodically said of me by friends and family. Suitably, perhaps, since I am returning to school and entering my seventh year of college (and no-I'm not becoming a doctor).

You will notice that I have not posted a picture. You see, the site name I wanted (perpetualstudent.blogspot.com) was taken. And I do not want to invalidate any claims made by my abbreviated site name (perpetualstud.blogspot.com).
