This is it

Hey everyone!

It looks like this is the final format for our official 2010 Brown University blog! None of this would've have been possible without the hard work from Ms. Kronenberg, Mr. Ramsey and Don. As for us students, that would be all of us, but I appreciate the many positive comments from others, (and I'm sure Irene appreciates them as well).

In truth without all of us, this would have been very difficult to ensure that everything looks "spic and span". I really hope you enjoy the color and the setting. Let's not forget that this is only the format and, for the most part, the color that are permanent.

Like all great things, there are going to be critics about the execution of our blog. It is important to listen to them and ensure our blog not only pleases our eyes, but also those that are willing to give our blog a second look. If you see that this is not to your taste, lets hear it! As the saying goes, "the only thing that you would regret is if you never gave yourself a chance to be heard."

It is also important to know that this is OUR blog and even though the opinions of others counts, we should try to remain in a boundary that pleases ourselves as well.

Starting Off

I'm fairly new to blogging, but I have the feeling this is going to be really fun. I get to try out my web design skills, too! :)

First of all, I feel so lucky to have been chosen to participate in the Ivy League Connection. I always thought of programs such as this as intangible; but now as we're starting to pick up the pace I'm almost overwhelmed by the very real, amazing potential of the next few months.

I'm looking forward so much to getting to know everybody, attending the actual class at Brown, and enjoying everything about the entire experience. I'd like to thank (in no particular order!) Don, Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Kronenberg, Ms. O'Brien, Mr. Crosby, and Ms. Larson for helping me get to this point, as well as everyone else who is working on the website.

Our informal meeting in March will be a fun step along the way to building a strong, close group. This is what will make our experience at Brown the best it can be.

I can't wait.
