The Beginning

When my non-fiction writing professor told us today that we would be keeping a blog for the semester, I instantly panicked.  In my mind, there is absolutely nothing worth writing about in my life.  I'm a boring, poor college student with a semi-genius husband who spends more time working on homework than he does sleeping.  Then, Russ/Professor Beck (but not Mr. Beck) suggested creating a blog with a certain theme or subject.  Several thoughts went through my head: a. write about my dog, b. write about my horse, or c. write about Nebraska.

Instantly, I smiled.


Because I knew the stink I could create writing about the difference between my beloved home state and this place I temporarily reside.  


I know what you're thinking.  Corn.  Beef.  And miles of flatness.  And I would tell you that you're right on all three accounts.  But I would also mention the Midwest hospitality, the genuine feeling of home living in the "Heartland," and of course, being a crazed Husker fan.


Forgive me, but this baby don't bleed blue.
