Last Night Before the First Day

So it's 1:33 in the morning right now and I start my spring semester at UT tomorrow. I'm kind of excited, kind of feeling unprepared. It's cool though. I guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be.

The First Tidbit

Perfectionism is bad. Know why? Because it leads to writer's block. That's probably why it took me almost 15 minutes to come up with these first few sentences. Fifteen wasted minutes, watching a cursor blink on a blank screen. So much for being perfect. I love the little ironies of life.

I really wanted my first words on this blog to make a bold statement. I was wondering how I'd announce the start of this blog to the world. Maybe like, "Look out world, here comes Jeddy!" Not really. I was actually going to say why I decided to start this blog in the first place, or that the jerk who occupies my first pick for a blog address, jeddy.blogspot.com, posted once in 2004, and should clear it out so I can use it instead.

Then I had a pessimistic thought. Nobody's really going to care about my first entry. It's not like throngs of people have been waiting to act upon my every move and judge the quality of this entry. And in the grand scheme of things, the first post doesn't really matter so much. After all, it's not about how you choose to start something that's important. It's how you choose to finish it.
