Hello! Welcome to my First Blog...Why Am I Blogging?

I have toiled with the idea of blogging for a couple of years. There have been several reasons why I haven’t until this point.

So what did it you might or might not ask?

Well, let's just say this much...a long and heartfelt conversation with the person I love. I mean grant it we have had so many, many, yes another many conversations like this, but for some reason, this one struck me, not to mention that the concept of the conversation revolved around me expressing my feelings through my writing. We explored various avenues, such as email, instant message, or letter (the old-fashioned kind). However, blogging wasn't one of those options. But after coming across a dear classmate's blog, I thought to myself, this might be a fine way for me to write about my emotions and feelings. It might help me get back to writing.

Writing was something I loved to do, but when I started college, then writing was placed on the back burner and substituted with scientific writing, tests, and mathematical calculations, because I was a Biology major and Chemistry minor. I lost touch with the poetic and story-telling side of myself and it replaced with the hardcore analytical world of math and science. But that world did not end with just college, it continued and manifested in other ways: studying for the graduate and professional level entrance examinations, working, and now more schooling.

But now as I am entering into my second year of graduate school, the only writing I ever seem to have time for is the scientific writing of Public Health. Well, I am not so sure I should call public health writing scientific, but if you have a better word to describe,please share!

With all of that being said, this is my introduction to you...The Transformation of the CrimsonMariposa!
