Agueda... writing!?

     Anyone who knows me well can attest to my deep, intense, and raw hatred for writing.  There is no activity that depresses me more, completely frustrates me and brings out the worst in me like writing does.  Just ask anyone who was around me during my thesis-writing days.  I’m surprised that they’re still my friends.  I hate writing (hate is a strong word... but trust me, that is in fact what I feel).  It takes me so long to piece my thoughts together and put them into words, and the whole process just makes me so unhappy.  

     Then, why I’m I keeping a weblog and torturing myself with writing?  Here are some of the main reasons:    

1. I have not used my brain since graduation.  I can feel it shrink!  So I’m hoping that by forcing myself to process and organize the convoluted mess that are my thoughts and attempting to express them in some coherent manner, I will still have a few useful neurons left at the end of the day (thankfully, I don’t have to worry about Alzheimer’s because I drink coffee, right Rachel!?)  


2. I’ve been inspired by other webloggers and gotten to know friends at a much deeper level by reading up on the status of their thoughts.  Tina’s xanga site is worthy to be published (I’m serious!)


3. There’s been a lot in my mind lately and so many stories left untold about Honduras, Mexico and what God has done in my life.  I really want to share them.


4. It’s a great way to stay in touch (right May?)… plus, I can’t keep up with all the emails that I owe, I’m so sorry!!!


5. I need to practice writing for the GRE and the sooner I overcome this aversion for writing (and math… but that’s a whole different story), the better!

     My goal is to have something up at least every two or three days, so come back soon and any feedback is highly welcomed (
