blog what?

so...I've never blogged. which I know is a mortal sin for poly sci majors in the year 2000s. But everyone who I wanted to know about my life I just talked to or picked up the phone. Archaic right? Anyways, the point of the matter is that Ian and I are going to Berlin & we need a link to our friends and family back home. Therefore, a dip into the blog waters seems entirely necessary.
