What We're Doing Here

Post by Isabella--

Hey.

So, I thought that I should make a post describing what it is we're doing with this blog and how it got started.

My roommate (Amelia) and I have been away from college for a little over a month now. We both started two different jobs that we hate and are having a hard time communicating because of our different work schedules. I go into work at 9 in the morning and leave at 6 (or later) at night. She doesn't go into work until after I've been at work for a while and gets out after I have already fallen asleep. Amelia also has school in the mornings. So, you can understand why it's been a little harder to communicate than when we see each other every day at college. Hence the blog.

We plan on using this blog as a way of communicating with each other and anyone else who wants to read our blog. We are also going to use it to talk about little rants we have going in our heads over the summer. (Like the one I have about journalism as a career...but that's another story for another time.) Basically, anything goes with this blog. We can write about anything and everything and write as much or as little as we want.

The name of the blog is a little bit of a story. My roommate is a Gryffindor and I am a Ravenclaw. Our room last year at college was on the fifth floor and as you might know, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw are the only two Hogwarts houses that are in towers. So, we named our room Gryffinclaw Tower. I think it's also a good way to summarize our blog. It's a little Gryffindor and a little Ravenclaw, but it's definitely a combined effort.

I hope you're as excited about this blog as I am. There will definitely be more to come soon.

Penguins and Pterodactyls,
