My First Post (Creatively Titled)

My name is Matt (no last name for security purposes)from West Virginia. I am quite indecisive as to what I should write for my first entry.  I have never written in a blog, and I don't generally read them ( I don't normally want to hear about someone's trip or amazing experience.)  In general, I tend to get off topic quite easily, so bear with me if you're reading.  For starters, we were given a prompt:  What do you expect to gain from your Globaloria experience?  As questions go, this one is pretty vague.  I joined the class because I like the teacher, and it's my senior year.  I already know my way around a computer fairly well, so I am not so sure what I expect to gain.  The biggest advantage of this program is not having to pay $500 for a program.  Unfortunately, the creativity is somewhat limited, for, as anyone in Globaloria knows, the game must be "educational" in some form or fashion.  I hope to figure out a good scenario in which to write my game, and I am pretty certain that it will contain something related to stick figures...
