Not sure why?

I always wanted blog. Some people have political blogs, others talk about their everyday lives. I am not sure why i wanted to blog. Perhaps its to lay down my thoughts, my frustrations, share my life. A friend (who I have never met but chat regularly) started a blog today, so I thought it would be neat to start one too.

So let me tell you a little about me.

I am in my 30's, currently studying at a university in the US. Some people consider it old to be studying, but i think its the best to study now. I feel more mature about it. At the same time, i am also getting frustrated and want the process to end. I can share a lot more about me, where I come from, about my family, about other deep dark secrets in my life, my aspiration, my sexuality, but i will leave it for another day.

I gave myself the nom de plume of Leonard Dalloway because Leonary and Ms. Dalloway were two characters in one of my favorite movies....The hours. I especially like the ending. Being artistically and linguistically challenged, I dont really fully understand what it says but I like it nonetheless. So i am going to share the ending part and maybe someone out there in the virtual world can email me and let me know what it means (leonard.dalloway@gmail.com)

This is the part where Leonard had killed himself earlier in the day and these are Ms. Dalloways thoughts:

Dear Leonard...
to look life in the face,
always... to look life in the face...
and to know it... for what it is...
at last to know it...
to love it... for what it is...
and then...
to put it away.
Leonard...
always the years between us
always the years...
always the love...
always the hours...

BTW, don't expect good spelling and grammer with me, I type my thoughts as they come along.

I think its about the joy of finally discovering what love has always been in her life and the surprise of finding that she's always had it. This is coming from the perspective of someone who hasn't watched the movie as yet though, so please pardon me if it sounds off.

What are you studying in university anyway? And how did you discover my blog?
