An Introduction of Self

This blog should probably be opened with something witty or wise, but, alas, you will just have to put up with my rambling. Aren't you lucky?

In any case, welcome to my blog. I’m looking forward to a great AP Comp class. In the future, murky as it is now, I’d like to pursue some kind of career with language. I have this feeling that being understood in the written word would help quite a bit there.

Speaking of which, language is my absolute favorite thing since, well, my last favorite thing. That's some heavy competition there. If you happen to speak to me in foreign tongues or are exceptional in English, I may just freak out. In school, I'm securing myself in Spanish and Latin, both of which have helped me so much already. I'd love to be fluent in several languages someday. Sadly, I am barely fluent in English, so I suppose it may take a while.


I’ve always loved to draw and, while not the next Leonardo Da Vinci, I can’t go a day without doodling something. I have an affinity for watercolors, chalk, and, of course, pens and pencils. I’m trying to delve into a more realistic style than my current mange/cartoon one. The macabre yet hilarious, manga, and startling photography catch my eye more often than not, and leave me wandering around art sites more than I should.

I have a semi-steady job of entertaining a ten-year-old. I recently achieved the status of a brand-spanking-new driver with a not-so-brand-spanking-new car, leaving me with the opportunity to carry around said child. I do love kids, but nothing has ever made me appreciate parents more than trying to copy one. Wish me luck. I’ll need it.


My familial circle includes a mom, a dad, and an assortment of adorable cats. My parents, though divorced, are united in their support in whatever I do, as long as it's legal, and it has helped so much. Sentimentalism aside, both parents live in apartments, my mom and I in McFarland, and my dad and I in Columbus, Wisconsin. So far, no squirrels have broken in.


Finally, thank you for reading, and have a nice day,


Stefanie
