Battle of Blog vs. (_____)

In the past 4 mos, I've had the persistent thought to start blogging more regularly. Not necessarily for the sake of my nonexistent following of faithful committed readers, but rather for the sake of allowing me to explore the thoughts underneath the hustle and bustle of what has become my life these days. So every week for the past 4 mos, there's been a range of battles: battle of blog vs. hustle, battle of blog vs. bustle, battle of blog vs. dissertation writing, battle of blog vs. Glee/Gossip Girl/Grey's Anatomy/How I Met Your Mother/CSI: NY/Friday Night Lights, battle of blog vs. sleeping, and of course battle of blog vs. googling phrases to answer questions I've had throughout my life such as "name of large ugly black long-beaked Kenyan bird" or "existing dwarf communities in California" or "commitment-phobic penguins", oh and of course "kangaroo mating techniques" (Note: the last two were inspired by my most recent trip to the SF Academy of Science). Alas, blog finally wins in the battle between blog vs. internship application essays.

To be honest, that's not entirely true. Deep down, I actually think blogging will help me write better essays. You see, I'm a bit of perfectionist when I write essays in that I never write the whole thing all at once, but rather spend an infinite amount of time making each sentence absolutely 'perfect' before moving onto the next. Kind of like how I just went back and reframed, reworded, and reread that last sentence five times...and how I just looked up the spelling on reframe, reword, and reread to ensure that there is no hyphen after the re.

Anyways...I'm supposed to be using this blog to answer the following question:

Please provide an autobiographical statement. There is no "correct" format for this question. Answer this question as if someone had asked you "tell me something about yourself." This is your opportunity to provide the internship site with some information about yourself. (Note: there are 3 other questions covering research interests, diversity, and theoretical orientation, but I'm going to pretend for now that they don't really exist)

To try and answer this question, I think I'll start by writing about how I have holes in my teeth...which will be the title of tomorrow's entry as there was just a battle between blog vs. cleaning room/project GLO-Get Life in Order and unfortunately the latter has won. Stay tuned non-existent loyal readers for next time's entry entitled "Holes in My Teeth".
