I am leaving for Guatemala on Friday with my very good friend, Anne. I will be gone for 2 months and this blog will be my way of feeling like I am talking with all of the important people in my life. I have never done anything like this trip, so I am nervous and excited. Anne will be with me for the first 2 weeks and then I will be on my own. I hope this blog will serve as a means for me to journal about my experiences. I have also never kept a public journal before and as a writing instructor, I think I am feeling a little of what my students feel when I give them a new writing assignment. What are the expectations of my audience? How do I even address my audience when I am not even really sure who my audience is? Some of you I of course know, but even with that information, you are such a motley lot of people, that I find myself a bit unsure what to say. Those of you who know me well will recognize irony in that last point:). I almost always have something to say. I hope I don't bore you! Let me know what you think, or if you have questions, ask!
Peace,
Holly
