The first step is usually the hardest and coming up with The First topic on my shiny new Blog. I wonder, is it Blog, or just blog? I am so new to this, its important to iron out the nuances of the Blogging culture. If you couldn't tell by the Blog's title, cultural nuances are an interest of mine; I have been a people watcher for as long as I can remember but only recently have I found out that there is an academic focus that caters to my creepy "mall-lurker" hobby.
First things first, I suppose; The Nickle Tour of Me.
I was a full time student up until a few months ago, to date I am about half way through to a degree in Anthropology. But, as you will see in future entries here, big changes are on the horizon, and leaving the college I was once attending is just the start.
Honestly, I am glad to have left, 2 years of attended college rebooted my brain, taught me some tools of learning I can apply to my life, and leaving college has given me a lot more time to educate myself. Yes, I know, that is what I was doing at College but it was nowhere as productive as I have been on my own. You see, now I don't have to guess if my classes are happening on any given day, I dont worry about getting up at dawn, suffering city transit to campus, only to sit down in a class where 75% of the 19 year old rich-kids that make up your student body have not bothered to do the readings and the teacher opts to cancel the class. So yeah, that's why I am not at the college anymore....
I live with my boyfriend and cat in a tiny basement apartment and my latest obstacle has been adapting my small space to meet my big house needs. Above you can see the picture of the small window sill herb garden I put together last week. Not only is it thriving in the bright sun as we speak, but it helps remind me that even though I do not have a patio, or a big sleek kitchen, or even fancy copper pots, the things that I want are attainable in the space I have.
Fresh basil goes on everything... yes.. even ice cream.
That is all for now, I have a heck of a cake mess to clean up in the kitchen. Cake pics to follow! ^_^

YAY! A new blog to read! I'm glad you are enjoying your small space - I'm a small space livin' persons too!
It's definitely "blog". As an unsavoury portmanteau of "web" and "log"--neither of which are proper nouns--capitalizing it gives the medium far more credit than it deserves.
Ya baby! first follower! I rock! couldnt ask for a betta sista! <3 much luv keep it up!
All looks very good ..you have a month to bake for our arrival:)
