Blogiversary!

Happy blog-birthday! We're one year old! That just seems so unreal. In some ways I still feel like we just started this, but at the same time it sort of feels like we've been doing it forever. Time is weird. But we've lasted a whole year! Huzzah!

Since we started this blog, I finished my honours thesis and graduated from university. I've moved twice, including living with my parents for the first time in three years. This time last year I was still trying to decide where to go to law school, and now I'm close to finishing my first year. Because of that I've met a ton of new people and learned so many new things. It seems almost unreal when I think about how many of the words that I use on a daily basis I had never even heard of a year ago. Learning is good!

In terms of the blog, having a weekly deadline is a nice push for me. I like writing, all kinds of writing, but I tend to let it fall to the wayside when I have other things to get done, so needing to put up a weekly post has been a good motivator (even if my posts always feel like they're super short. Oops.). It's also fun to get to explore different topics and things that I wouldn't necessarily write about or even think about on my own, and some weeks have been a real challenge to figure out what I wanted to say. I guess I've gotten to know myself and my own opinions a little bit better from doing this too.

And of course, you girls! It's so nice to have other Nerdfighters to talk to at all, and you all are so interesting and intelligent and nice that I just love reading your posts. And I find that the more I get to know you, the more I want to get to know you, so here's to many more happy years of blogging together!
