I know I haven't posted recently, sorry, so sorry. That's partly because I've been so busy with homework, but moreso because I've not had anything worth writing about. However, today in ECS (Education Core Studies) we had a guest speaker, Dr. Alec Couros, who discussed technology's role in society. He gave one of the best lectures I have ever sat through, incredibly entertaining! He put a lot of emphasis on establishing our roles on the Internet - making yourself visible to the world, and doing something positive (instead of just bashing YouTube videos). And, well, that's what prompted me to post another blog entry.
I'm also considering joining Twitter after Dr. Couros' in-depth talk about its' benefits. It was really nice hearing someone talk about the postives of modern-day technology, not just the drawbacks (though there are many). As he put it, be responsible, be smart, and keep it private.
Not much else is new, but I wanted to share that with everyone. If I do get a Twitter account, I'll be sure to post a link here. And I promise to try a little bit harder to post more often, but yeah... No guarantees.

Welcome!
Welcome to my very first blog post! Exciting, no?
I'm 18 years old and a freshman at the University of Regina. To be honest, that's all this blog is: I'm just writing about all the ridiculous things that go on at school, in my life, whatever. Trust me, it'll be funny.
So the next big question is, where the heck did you come up with such an awesome name for your blog? True story: a lot of partying goes on at University (don't worry, Mom and Dad, I'm not a part of it), and sometimes it gets a tad out of control. The other day, I got into the elevator to go up to my room on the fourth floor; one of the janitors followed me in, and asked if I was new here. I said I was. He said, You want some advice? You can't ride the fire extinguishers. Some punk up on the twelfth floor thought he could fly if he put the damn thing between his legs and no, he didn't get very far.
Kids, don't do drugs, that's the moral here. But you have to admit, it does make for a pretty good story. Of course I had to share this with my friends, I went running to their room: "Hey guys, you'll never guess what I heard in the elevator?!" And I thought, man, that would be an awesome name for a blog. So there you go.
I'll try to update the blog at least two or three times a week, but it all depends on how much homework I have. Exam week, you might not hear from me at all. Anyways, thanks for reading!
