Oh, hi blogosphere.

Here I go, entering the blogosphere, but why? Well, let’s start with my initial motivations that drove me to starting my own blog. In the interest of transparency, I'll run through my whole process I went through before writing this post.

I've dabbled in the whole blogging thing a few times before, but nothing that lasted more than a few posts. As a part of my graduate course in Designing Interactivity, I was given the assignment of creating a website. Since my graduation date is speeding quickly toward me, I chose to focus the site (which is due out shortly) on my academic and professional PR experience by flexing my intellectual muscles. I figured that ranting about current events and talking about their PR implications would be a pretty good way to do so.

While initially, it seemed like a pretty good idea, I quickly realized that it was about the most unoriginal idea that I had come up with lately. Everybody and their mother was doing the same thing, so I decided to do a 180 and do something that no one else had yet to do, talk about the trials and tribulations of Jameson Bull, the graduate Public Relations student and soon-to-be Public Relations professional.

I plan on stumbling in between sharing my experiences as a graduate student in the cultural mecca of Syracuse, NY, commenting on developments in the Public Relations profession, and occasionally mixing it up and throwing in the random and completely unrelated topics about life in general (all while trying to avoid turning this into an online diary which might make me sound like a 14 year-old girl).

Whatever this turns into, I'll keep it interesting. I promise.
