There are about 17, 000, 000 blogs created every day. That was January 2012. How many more are there now?
Welcome to one more.
My name is Atieno. I have a first name -- an English name -- by which most people know me. But I like the look of "Atieno" in text. I'll probably introduce myself differently if we ever meet. And I refer to myself differently within the blog when it applies. But calling me "Atieno" makes me smile. It's a novelty.
At the time I am writing this, I am almost a college graduate. I don't know how much further in the future you are reading this, but my hope is that that status has changed.
I like writing, although this should not be taken to mean that I write creative pieces. I learned early that my creativity can stretch only so far. I am passionate about self-expression. In writing. In speech. In art. I believe strongly in articulating the innermost corners of our mind in ways that can be understood by those outside our minds. So when I say I like writing, I mean, I am enthusiastic about articulately and accessibly conveying my thoughts. Or something like that.
To start you off with the cliches, I find myself in a situation that many others before me have experienced. I toiled 8 years in primary school, and then four years in high school and four more years in college, soooo, now what?
This blog is about that. And then some.
