Welcome

Welcome... reader? Mostly just welcome to myself, until perhaps a reader or two may stop by from time to time, but this is my first ever post on my brand new blog so I figure I have to start somewhere.

It is currently April, 2015, and this is the year that I for some reason decided to embark on completing a PhD. Yay? In actual fact I officially commenced my PhD back on February 9th, but it took until April to finally decide on a blog title, think about what I want to write about, and then to actually go ahead and start writing. Which I hope is not a precursor on how the next 3 years will be like...

I've actually been a blogger for years now, it is a huge passion of mine. To read other peoples' experiences about all aspects of life can be such a powerful, motivational, and inspirational opportunity that I would like to recommend to everybody. PhD is meant to be one of those 'life experiences' that you hear about (so I've heard) so being able to blog about it, but more importantly to be able to read about it on other peoples blogs, was certainly not to be missed.

So the idea behind this blog is hopefully to document the journey that is PhD, and of course be able to share my world a little bit with others too. My field of study is Information Technology, therefore I will of course enjoy writing about the area and any related projects I am working on. And then once I eventually decide once and for all what my PhD topic is all about (coming soon!) then the hope is that writing about it here will perhaps benefit others, but also benefit myself by having it all written down.

My first two months have been... different. I was not sure what to expect to be honest. In the end though I guess one must simply hope that they do indeed reach the end, and they can look back at those first few months with great fondness, realizing that that is where it all began.
