Set Up

Hi,

I've decided to create this blog in order to keep in touch with everybody when I go to Chile. I know from past experiences that I am both fairly bad at staying in touch with people who don't live in my geographic area and fairly bad at remembering and relating the stories that happen to me. I hope that this blog will help with both. I will be able to write down my stories here, allowing me to remember them and also telling my friends and family about what I am experiencing. 

When I am abroad, I am sure I am going to miss everyone here in the States horribly so I highly encourage you to post comments here or to email me at welcher.paul@gmail.com. Because of the wide range of audiences that could be viewing this blog, I do ask that you keep any comments relatively pc ... (hence why the email is also provided ;P). Finally, this whole blog operates under the assumption that I will have access to internet in Chile. While, I believe this to be the case please be patient while I get myself set-up over there.
