Day 1

Welcome to my Webjam page. I'm new to these new-fangled internet personal sites, so forgive me if there are some kinks here and there. I suppose this is where I post my manifesto for world domination, or at least introduce myself, so let me begin...

I am a student who is setting off in pursuit of my PhD and am about to move cross-country, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Eugene, Oregon to begin the next leg of my journey. My field of study is Linguistics, with an emphasis on Historical Linguistics, mainly languages in the Indo-European family. I've always had a love of words, and while this love leads to my hobby of writing fiction, it transcends creative writing and becomes an earnest desire to discover the world beneath the word - what are its origins, its connotations and denotations, what journey had it taken? Finding linguistics was like diving under an umbrella in the rain - it was the only place for me not to get drowned by the storm of my own ennui.

The purpose of my page is to invite others into my world. I plan to start a journal of my day-to-day life, my discoveries, my questions about the world, and anything that generally pops into my already over-cluttered head. I will also post pics and videos, and even some fiction and other writings. I hope to make friends and fans, and to keep in contact with the world when I'm about to become lost in a labyrinth of books and learnings.

Thanks for stopping by. Come back again real soon. Thanks for reading.
