Assumptions

Do you know what happens when you assume? I do. But, I'll do it anyway. Assumptions are an integral part of an epidemiologist's tool kit. As I won't strictly write about epidemiology, I'll start this blog thinking about the major assumption I made when I decided to create it...that someone will read it.

I decided to start writing because: 1) I love to write and I'm getting bad at it; 2) for my first international work experience, I'm going to Malawi and people wanted updates; 3) I'd like to be more in touch with my favorite people; and 4) I have a lot of opinions and need an outlet.

Writing for an invisible online audience requires making quite a big assumption. It feels a little indulgent too...might I actually have something to say? Will people want to read it? Will they care? I'll spare you the anticipation. Ultimately, no. There will be nothing of consequence written here...well, not on purpose! But...as all bloggers do, I'll make the assumption and proceed.
