Hey all,
 
I know it’s been awhile since I’ve been regularly blogging, but wanted to let you know I’m still alive and kicking and blogging.
 
So what’s new with me?
 
I graduated from Medill in December.
 
Working in the communications department of a pretty dope nonprofit.
 
Enjoying a healthy and vigorous social life, as I try to rebuild my Chicago world.
 
So things are good
 

 
Other than that, things are about the same. I hope to begin again regularly blogging. Something I have struggled with since the latest incarnation of this blog is deciding my scope and what content I’d like to focus on. The old Carlson Salon had a pretty specific focus: I wrote on social issues, but only if I had a unique analysis to bring to the table— exploding an unexplored piece of rhetoric, examining the connections between macro and micro issues, etc. I would still love to do that but those posts took a long time to write.
 
I’m hoping to be a little quicker and snazzier, but haven’t quite figured out what I want the blog to be. So this will be an experiment, I think. If things seem inconsistent for awhile, bear with me while I figure out my A-game.
 
Thanks, readers!!
