Blog Project! w00t!

Hey all,

So you'll (hopefully) get an e-mail from Chris tomorrow, which will really be an e-mail from me. Like Natalie and Mia I received this scholarship that has a necessary service component. My service idea: a blog project. I'm trying to get all the Hoos studying abroad in Asia to create a blog to educate others about and incite others to study abroad in Asia. That being said, it'd be really cool if you all would jump on board, so to speak, and create your own individual blogs and then send me the link so I can put it on the main blog page for this project.

By no means is this an attempt to undermine the integrity and spirit and honesty of this here blog. It's just something I have to do. I'm sure you all understand. Just think of this as an opportunity to get really creative on your own page for (once again, hopefully) lots of study-abroad hopefuls, like your classmates and others in the Asia-centric departments.

I've already created the main page for this blog project and my own blog if you guys want to check those out: http://destinationasia08.blogspot.com/ and http://jeannetteinjapan.blogspot.com

I hope you all are enjoying your very extended breaks :) And sorry that I've been so M.I.A. on this blog. I will post more. Scout's honor.

Awesome! I was planning on doing a blog anyway to make it easier to keep friends and family updated, so this'll work right out =) Good project idea!

Jeannette said...

mia said...

Me too- I was hoping to do a blog as well. Does it have to be through blogger though? (and haha could I count this as my service component too?? ;)

Jeannette said...

nope, doesn't have to be through blogger, i can add a link to anywhere. (haha... )

it's hard to think of a creative name for my blog : P

Muuurgh said...

... and correctly place emoticons in the comment box, apparently...

natalie said...

bahaha... I definitely thought you were saying like... "P" was the best name you could come up with... and I was like.. Greg, it's not *that* hard to think of a name more creative than a single letter..

Thanks for clarifying =D

Cool cool, I was going to do one anyway too. Did you want us to start now, like write about pre-departure? And do you have any specific things you'd like us to address in our posts over time, or just write about whatever comes to mind?
