The day it all started...

First post! Finally got it up and running! Soon I'll be able to incorporate actual pictures I've taken instead. Hopefully this will be a way to keep in touch with my family and friends abroad. I've never had to limit my internet before (thanks Mom and Dad and USC). However, I will have to learn how to budget my internet, so instead of emailing/facebooking everyone personally, you'll be able to keep up with everything I'm doing through this. As always, feel free to comment/give advice/constructive criticisms/etc.
