So, I'm not really sure what the point of this blog is going to be. I'm not one of those people who can churn out a topic blog with post after post on hipster fashion or vegan burger recipes or knitting patterns. I used to write a semi-non-boring blog about the coolest year of my very short life when I lived in Switzerland, but that sadly came to an end when I started college at University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music as a ballet major last fall. Now that adventure is coming to an end as well, as I've just decided to transfer to Barnard College in the Big Apple (What? If I call it the Big Apple I'll sound like a tourist? ...oops...)
There are quite a few reasons behind my decision, one of which being the lack of academics I can take while being in conservatory, and another being the fact that I never quite felt comfortable at a school with 30,000 undergrads. I didn't hate my time at CCM, and I don't regret it at all; I learned loads about myself and ballet, made amazing friends, and discovered that the Midwest really isn't as bad as coastal people claim it is. But CCM just hasn't been the right fit, so I'm moving on.
And while I'm a little daunted about my third move in three years (California -> Switzerland -> Ohio -> NYC), I'm really excited. I'm so excited, in fact, that I've already been creeping NYCB's website for student rush ticket prices (Gah! Only $15! Amazing!) and avidly reading the Barnard course catalog.
Well, that's quite a tangent, isn't it? I somehow got from the point of this blog to the allures of
Anyways, this is an introduction, a warning and an apology all in one. I'm a suburban California girl with too many ideas and too little patience. I love words and dancing and anything that chirps or flies. I like spontaneity but I'm a little too OCD for my own good. I'm addicted to traveling and really good food and any kind of live theatre or ballet. I'm bossy, I never shut up, and I probably do embarrassing things in public places more often than I should. This blog is likely going to be a dump for my sporadic musings and inspirations. It probably won't be good, and anything remotely interesting will be buried among way too much boring fluff that will most likely be written in painful run-on sentences. But if you think you'll get any kind of pleasure or amusement from reading this, then, by all means, forge ahead. I wish you luck :)
