Of the six previous entries I have made on this Blogger system, 3 start with the word “I.” At first, I found this slightly odd, and perhaps problematic. It’s not that I am bothered by a little self-indulgence or some egotistical writing, but really, is the blog experience really supposed to be all about one’s self? In response to this question I’ll try to write this entire entry without starting a sentence with the word “I.”

Tonight we had a Chili party here at apartment 807. It was cool. Part of the concept was to intrigue those of the Indian persuasion to come over. E, one of my housemates went to lunch with an Indian girl who said that Chili reminded her of some types of curry dishes, and therefore reminded her of home. As it turned out, not many people showed up, and those that did come were not from my year. It was all the people from the class ahead of mine, which I didn’t mind in the least. They’re all settled and kind of have the program figured out. It’s comforting to know they’re still around and enjoyed last year. Anyway, the chili was good, and we’ll have enough to eat for the next few weeks.

There’s a lot I want to say about my experiences here so far, but I feel like it’s not coming out cleanly tonight. Probably because it’s so late at night. Perhaps I’ll sleep and try this again tomorrow. Good night…

(Remember the challenge about not starting any sentences with “I?” I did it!!!! 😉
