Post 1: Corinne's Introduction

I will preface my introduction by explaining that this is a blog for my English class: Literature and the Environment. I am not generally fond of writing about nature, nor sharing my writing with the entire world. Alas, I am required to do both. The thought of writing a public blog makes me both nervous and slightly embarrassed.

That being said, welcome to Nature et Moi! Though it's not my general topic for writing, I do quite enjoy the natural world (at least until bugs are involved,) green trees and overcast skies are a few of my favorite things. I used to go camping three or four times every summer when I was a kid so I'm happy to say I've had the experience of enjoying wildlife outside of my own backyard. Please, try not to get too impressed, but my parents once told me I had a special bond with the world because it rained on my birthday for ten years in a row. . . so I had that going for me. Obviously, that sacred connection was broken somehow as there have been more than a few sunny days on the 26th of June in recent years. 

To be completely honest, I have no ideas for this blog. Though I am fond of nature, I do not find the world inspiring--in fact, I find it quite the opposite. Most likely, I will wind up writing about things I dislike about nature as complaining is one of my more prominent strengths. 

I will end this discombobulated post by apologizing for its discombobulation; hopefully my other submissions will be more cohesive.
