"I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything."

Fanta-statistics

This week will mark the joyous occasion when I reach the 5,000 page view mark. This means that since the 25th August 2011 around 5,000 people have viewed my blogs - how cool is that?! Each week I can log in and see how many people are viewing it that day and where in the world they're viewing from. I've had readers in Spain and Germany, Jamaica, Russia and even Bangladesh. How they come across my blog I do not know, but what I do know is that people across the world have been privy to my mad rants and fantastical mumblings.

The problem though, is that it has become completely and utterly addictive. Towards the end of last semester I was obsessed with my blog stats checking up every day to see how many more people had read it and posting it on various peoples facebook walls with the hope that their friends would see it and the Musings would spread. But it got so bad that I found myself blogging about the most random and inconsequential things - so I apologise for those instances! My resolution for this year is quality not quantity. I will of course still try and blog as regularly as possible but only about those things that I find interesting. For example as excited as I am about the upcoming opening of the Dunkin Donuts in the Student Union, I will try and refrain from blogging about it!

Having said that, over Christmas my blog stats, of course, took a massive plummet as I only posted once or twice. So the battle has now begun to get it back up to its former glory: let the mad ramblings continue!
