Welcome
Hello, and welcome to my virtual journal for next semester. I'm leaving for South Africa on January 17th (a hint to all my friends who need to make sure they see me before it's too late...) and will be spending the semester at the University of the Western Cape, which is about 20 minutes outside of Cape Town. So, instead of sending out all those annoying emails that enter into the "Spam" category rather quickly, I'll write my adventures here and you can visit whenever you get the chance. And if you fail to visit and comment, your absence will be noted: we will have things to discuss when I get home at the beginning of June.
So check back when my departure date approaches, and hopefully I'll be able to stay in touch with everyone left stranded on this frigid continent as I'm enjoying summer in South Africa...

Becca - I can't imagine anyone thinking your email would be annoying, but then again I can't imagine anyone enjoying golf either.

If you sent email in which you wrote about adventures -- "today I was running in South Africa and I came upon a herd of wild boars that chased me to the edge of a large cliff, but just then I looked at the top of the page and saw part of a crew boat so I jumped in and grabbed the oar and rowed away upon the perilous ocean of Cape Town" -- I personally would not consider that spam.
Then again, I don't really like golf, either. I don't really even like mini golf.

I don't care if it's e-mail or blogs--just as long as you are working out!
Personally, I don't consider golf a sport.
