Apologus De Colegio

This is the second blog that I have created and the 4th blog that I have posted on and the most important principle of blogging is having a good name. Maria's Music (where I discuss music, politics, philosophy, theology and more) wasn't my best work when it came to naming but I have recognized the naming prowess of the creator of dooHICKEY (a blog about popular culture I post on) and other blogs I read (a proper "Blog Role" side bar will be put up soon for the extremely interested reader).

So there was a lot of pressure when it came to naming this blog, which will be dedicated to relaying my college experiences in a hopefully fun-loving maybe even comedic fashion (Maria's Music will be reserved for the academic fashion). I wanted to title this blog "The College Story" but in Latin, which isn't as easy as one may think. Firstly I don't know Latin well, so I needed to call a friend. And then we had to chose between the many words for story making sure we were desiring to connote the desired connotations. He ironed out some Latin grammar that I didn't understand, but I think I got a pretty decent title out of it.

As I said this blog will contain stories and all heavy stuff that (hopefully) comes along with college will be spared the reader of this blog. Hopefully Apologus De Colegio will serve many purposes, but I most of all hope to remain connected to the people I will no longer see every day. Of course posting will be very infrequent until next August or so, but from time to time I will provide updates about the status of the long process leading up to going to college. The blog will be open to comment, so please feel free.
