in the beginning
I’ve never “blogged” before or really been asked to share my experiences in this kind of format, so please forgive me if I happen to make some kind of serious breach of web etiquette. My name is Scott Curry. I’m a first year student in the Masters of Urban Planning Program at Michigan. I’m 22 years old. I’m from West Lafayette, IN. I did my unergrad at Ball State University in Urban Planning and Development. I enjoy photography, basketball, checking out new urban environments, cooking, and cold IPA’s.
Now that the awkward introductions are taken care of I can move along to what this blog is supposed to be about which, if I understand correctly, is pretty much whatever I care to write about.
Ground rules:
1.- It is not my intention in the content of my postings to misrepresent, in any manner, the URP program at Michigan, individuals who I might talk about in the blog, or (most importantly) myself. In other words, I’m shooting off the cuff here. So if someone gets the wrong impression about something because of something I’ve written please don’t crucify me for it.
2. - It is also not my intention to spend a ton of time proofing postings for grammatical accuracy. As I understand it this is meant to be informal – which is good because otherwise I really wouldn’t want to write it and you (if there is a “you” out there) wouldn’t want to read it.
Diving in then…It’s the start of a new week, and the thing that I am least interested in talking about is school. Today happens to be the day that football tix go on sale for returning students, St. Patty’s day (which I won’t be celebrating because of a bit too much merriment this past weekend), and also the start of my favorite time of year – March Madness. I’ve got NC, GTown, Texas, and UConn in my final four. (I can’t change a posting once it’s submitted, or at least I don’t think so, so in three weeks when my bracket is torn to shreds feel free to refer back to these predictions and laugh) NC over Texas by 16.
If you’re wondering why U of M isn’t included in this list it’s because we had a…mmm… “less than stellar” season this year under first year coach John Beilein. (Our program chair, Jonathan Levine, probably could have walked-on at one point in the year when we only had something like 8 active players on the roster) Hopefully with the addition of Coach Beilein’s buddy from West Virgina, Rich Rodriguez, to the Michigan athletic family next year, John and the team will be a little more inspired. By the way, if you happen to be a WVU alum, student, or fan – Don’t hate us. We’re sorry.
Until next time…
