The first post!

Wow...I cannot believe it, I am actually doing the whole blog thing. My professor for teaching writing in high school said blogging is perhaps the next best thing for a growing teacher to do. It allows them to be reflective as well as increase their perception of their own unique abilities. So, after much deliberation and perhaps A LOT of laziness, I've decided to take the plunge and do it...literally.

I can't continue without first crediting this inspiration to Davey Wavey's blog, breaktheillusion.com. He is a very interesting character and as a teacher, writer, actor, singer, and just all around observer, watching him has been the most fun I've had in a long time. Though he and I may differ on somethings...well a lot of things...I think he presents valid points and you should definitely go and read his blog. He also includes really unique workouts that are a lot of fun to do. So after you are done reading my blog, go and check his out. He will definitely appreciate it :-D

So...you are wondering at this point who the heck I am. I'll give you the basics. I am a college student majoring in Theatre and English Education who has dabbled in a lot of entertainment fields, including modeling. If you have ever watched America's Next Top Model, I'm the Js plus Nigel. I am extremely fun and outgoing and, I will admit, a bit over the top. I like the extravagent both on stage and in life, though I'm trying to really discern the two and prioritize. That didn't come out that well, but oh well.

As the title says, this is the college edition. I have two years under my belt and along with it a lot of unique and enlightening experiences. I will let you know right now I have never gotten crazy drunk or drank an immense amount of alcohol. Whether I have drank or not is really no one's business but my own. Really, it is. If you want to talk about college students and alcohol, I'm ok with that and my opinion on it. But my personal life is going to be off limits for the most part. My ideal night is getting my homework done and watching my sitcoms or hanging with my friends. But of course, I don't know the other side. That's what I hope you all will bring to the table. I don't condemn or criticize. I believe in the philosophy: What you do is your business not mine.

I go to one of the best colleges on Earth that has the best program for both Theatre and English Education. Technically, I'm a senior but I'm only in my third year. The university will probably start pressuring me to graduate, but I'm not in a rush. I hope to finish out on time with all my classmates. One person I will constantly refer to is my best friend Trish. For security purposes, that's her name. Our conversations will make you laugh, make you cringe, and make you wonder how crazy we can truly get.


The title is Fireside Chat Blogging. The term fireside chat originated with President Franklin Roosevelt who used the chats to appeal to his voters and give them an insight to how he was running government. Our current President elect Barack Obama has also started to do these chats, via youtube. Well, I haven't figured out youtube out just yet, so I thought why not try Fireside Chat Blogs? I am appealing to you. I want to get to know your college experience. I want to hear from all undergraduates, graduates, post-doc, current doc, people who have graduated, people who dropped out. This blog is for you!


I hope you all stick it out with me and I can't wait to hear your feedback! Feel free to send any inquiries to this e-mail address: smf06@fsu.edu. I am open to any ideas for blog posts.

Rock it out,

Seth
