Intro To The SmArt Kid

Welcome to The SmArt Kid!  I'm Abbie (note: it is "ie" not "y"), the creator, master controller and brilliance behind this small internet domain.

I created this blog primarily because I'm about to head off to college; I'm really excited, but there's so much to keep track of, so the more I can get done at once, the better.  With that idea in mind, I chose to blog so my friends and family can keep track of me, and also so I don't have to send ten e-mails or make ten phone calls to tell everyone basically the same thing: "Hey, I'm good, college is great, etc, etc, blah blah blah, I love you bye."

I know what you're thinking.  "But Abbie, why not just send a mass e-mail or connect them to Facebook or something?"  A valid question indeed, to which I have several answers:

1. I like to write, I tend to write a lot, and my e-mails are usually very thorough and long, to the point where they began to remind me of blog posts anyway.
2. I exempted my general ed writing classes because of AP Test Scores in AP Composition courses.  This is great news because I don't like being told what to write or how much to write, and also because courses cost money.  I do like to write though, so I need an excuse to.
3. I sound a lot cooler and express messages in better, more organized ways when writing than out loud.
4. I'm not just going to any college, I'm going to the Savannah College of Art and Design, henceforth known as SCAD, and there isn't a lot of inside information available on some important questions about going to art school.  I'd like to help remedy that.
5. If my blog is good, I might get money, and who am I to say no to some extra cash for college?

So fingers crossed then, the blog has been built and christened, stay tuned for more about me and what to expect from this blog in tomorrows blog post.
