Thanksgiving Week

Hello there blogging world!

I did it.

I've been waiting and waiting for my brain to finally give in and let myself create a blog. And lo and behold, on this rainy Monday before Thanksgiving, as I sit here, in my dorm room, putting off my Humanities paper...

A little about myself.

I'm a student at The Catholic University of America. I am pursuing a Bachelor's of Music degree in Vocal Performance. Music, in a nutshell, is my life. When I was younger, the worst punishment possible for me to receive from my parents was for my boom box (yes, boom box) to be taken away. I love love love living in Washington, DC. All of the history, the opportunities, the beautiful sights and places. I could go on forever.

I love to read and write. I've been making up stories since I was a little girl. I would sit down at the kitchen table on a Saturday morning with ten pages of printer paper stapled together with a title page in my best elementary school scrawl reading, "The Adventures of Kathy Green," or "The Princess and the Bakery," and write diligently for half a page before seeking out a snack.

Oh, that's the other thing...

Food.

My love.

The hours I spend pouring over food blogs, scouring used books stores for cookbooks,  drooling over pictures on Pinterest . It's embarrassing. My one trial at the moment is that I only have a communal kitchen, one pot, a baking sheet, some measuring cups, and the fact that I am forced to be on a meal plan for another semester. My life is so hard.

Lastly, my faith. I was raised Catholic and always have been. But I never discovered my passion for the faith until I came to CUA. Being surrounded by wonderful teachers and peers who share in this has only made me grow and grow in my love for Catholicism. God has blessed me and I am so grateful to Him!

Well, there it is!

I suppose I should maybe work on my papers. But with a sunny Floridian Thanksgiving vacation calling to me from the other side of my Harmony test tomorrow morning, it's going to be rough.

Patron Saint of Get-My-Brain-to-Focus-Please, pray for us.
