The beginning to a new blog...

Hello!

This is my very first post to this blog! (Key word: "this" - I have two other blogs...)

A little bit about myself: I am a junior public relations major, the PR intern for The Empower Campaign, account executive with ImPRessions (Ohio's student run PR firm) and ARA for Lincoln Hall.

Basically, I'm a busy person.

On the more entertaining side, I'm in love with Jason Mraz, I can play the ukulele and my favorite TV show is Friends.

Not to be lame and say that I'm SUPER DUPER excited about this class... but I am. I've been meaning to read Bridget Jones's Diary for years and I finally will! Also, I love discussing women's issues, so for the focus of this class to be related to female sexuality, I am ecstatic.

Focusing initially on types of writing is an interesting way to start the quarter, as well. Our types would be:

• Personal
• Public
• Private

Each would be a fuzzy definition, and each would vary from different people who are defining it, but I think the general idea would be that personal writing is writing that is done for oneself. I am writing this blog with ideas that are meaningful to me. I pick topics for research papers that are meaningful to me. I would define public writing as writing that is done for the public, like research papers, novels, newspapers, blogs, etc. If it's open to being viewed by the public, it is public writing. Private writing, on the other hand, would be writing that is solely for your own purposes. This differs from personal writing in that is not meant for anyone to read other than yourself; personal writing can be public writing.

This blog is personal and public. While the general public will view it, it is largely my opinion. However, I'll abstain from profanity and sexual innuendos to stay language neutral so anyone can read it.

The following video is an example of the difference between guys and girls, solely for your entertainment. It is my favorite clip from Friends.
