I've been enrolled in nine different schools, not including UT. Despite having to constantly make new friends, I'm still pretty awful at it. I've always been somewhat shy, and even though I do like talking to people, I feel as if I can express myself best through words. Besides writing, my interests include crafting, baking, running, and cat-loving.
I love to make things. Back home, I have a bunch of bins under my bed filled with yarn, fabric, stuffing, and various other "DIY" materials. I've made scarves, pillow cases, blankets, and a few plush animals. Because I didn't bring much of my crafting items here, I miss having all those things at hand. I also miss being able to bake as often as I used to, since its not as convenient or economical for me to buy certain ingredients and to get the kitchenware I need.
I also like to run. My parents both run marathons and my sister was in track, so I guess the running bug sort of rubbed off on my once I came to college. I only started running last summer, so I haven't completed a whole lot of races, but with the running club at UT, I've been able to go to a few. The toughest race I've run so far has to be the Capital to Coast Relay, which was a 223 mile relay race from Austin to Corpus Christi. It lasted about two days and wore me out like nothing I've done before. It was a huge accomplishment for me and I hope to challenge myself more with races like this in the future.
I'm excited to see what this semester, and especially this class, has in store for me. I can't wait to get more hands-on journalism experience. :)
