Time for a Change

I'm going to admit something... I'm through with the 30 Day Challenge.  I knew this would happen.... when have I ever finished a challenge on the blog?  :)  My blogging may become a little sporadic, but I just have so much to do.  I want to make sure that I'm doing everything I can to focus on school, because, as much as we students often dislike to admit it, it's our calling.  I need to give blogging a bit of a backseat for a while.

Granted, I'll be posting whenever I can!  It simply won't be a primary focus.  When I try to blog every day, I find myself getting bogged down and frustrated, and then I feel guilty when I don't.

I want to change the focus of my posts, too.  I have an outlet now for all of my girly-focuses, so I want this blog to be something different.  I want it to be about my daily life in Italy, because I know my family loves to read about that, but also, I want to get into things more deeply.  Writing is something I love to do... and while I don't know if it will be something I do for a living, I still want to excel at it.  I want to practice it, and I think this blog is the perfect way to do it.

One of the main reasons I'm ending the 30 Day Challenge is simply because it's not writing.  I can post a picture and an intro, and that can be all the writing I've done for that day.  I'm not saying that it's not fun and that I don't love reading and looking at others' challenges, but it's not for me.

In a nutshell, what I'm saying is I want to go back to where I started.  When I would post things that I was thinking through.  When I would post poetry.  When I would post pictures of beautiful places I happened upon in this amazing city.

I hope you don't mind the change... but I know that I'm certainly excited about it!  Please stay with me folks.  I don't think you'll regret it.
