Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you.  Things you are passionate about one day have a strange habit of taking the back seat for other activities that come your way.  Basically, that is what has become of this blog.  While I often visit this page, I can never seem to find the time or desire to update it.  I know I have posted a few other notes about restarting the College Critic, but when tomorrow rolled around, I just couldn’t find the patience to spare the few minutes it takes write something thoughtful.  This morning, I was routinely checking my email when I happened upon a letter from a reader.  Now, this email took me by surprise, as I didn’t think I even HAD readers even when I was writing in full swing.  Anyway, the email was only two or three lines long, but full of encouraging words.  Finally, this person asked me why I had stopped updating the site.  When I started to think about that question, I began to think that maybe the limited time in my day was not the real reason I had been avoiding my blog.  After all, you make time for things you care about.  Perhaps I was disillusioned by the desire for an audience.  I think that somewhere along the line, I stopped caring about my intellectual analyzation of different topics, and placed more emphasis on what would create readership.  That was a mistake that I hope I can learn from.

Where is this post leading?  I didn’t really know when I started writing, to be honest.   I was trying to make a decision about whether to start writing again by getting all of my thoughts on paper (or the computer screen I suppose).  After thinking things through, I am ready to give this blog a try again.  I won’t make any promises that this desire and initiative will last, and I don’t expect that anybody would believe me if I did.  After all the prior posts, you can take my decision with a grain of salt.  Despite all of that, I’m going to give this comeback my best shot.  The College Critic is open for business once more.
