Welcome!

Hello, ladies and gentlemen!  

Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging.  I hope you have set up your account either through blogspot or through your IUS-assigned homepage.  Now it's time to start blogging!

For your first assignment, due on Monday, September 1st, post a blog that tells your obituary. 

Think of the influential people you wrote about in class and imagine that you, too, will become an influential figure in coming years.  Outline your future achievements, and, if you choose to tackle the morbidity of the assignment, go ahead and describe your death, whether it's from "natural causes" at the age of 175 or just a few years down the road when you courageously save an entire orphanage and a number of puppies from a burning building.  

Remember to be as specific as possible and to have fun!
