About Me : )

Hi, my name is Kaitlyn (I go by Katie) and I am a senior at WHS. My favorite colors are purple and red, my favorite season is fall, and my favorite sweet tea comes from Jimmy John’s. My strengths include ranting, reading books in one sitting, and parallel parking. My weaknesses include mosquito bites, potatoes, and special editions of books (my wallet hates me). I am an artist (I paint, draw, and make messes) and I play the clarinet. If I’m not drawing or playing my clarinet, I read. I have a lovely bookshelf filled with my young adult fantasy and contemporary books.

I feel like a complete nerd admitting this, but I spend an unhealthy amount of time reading books, obsessing over them, crying over them, and ranting about them (usually to my friend Kathryn, who is a very supportive listener when I’m crying over cliffhangers). I’ve kept a book queue since 7th grade containing all of the books I have purchased and plan to read, with about 40 books on it. Despite the list, 80% of the time I reread my favorites (which is probably the reason I have 40 books in my to-be-read pile). I don’t read any literature, but I have a great time reading the YA books I have.

Moving on from the book nerd side of me, I am also a complete aviation geek. I used to be terrified of planes until I flew on the biggest commercial plane of them all. It was amazing and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Since then, I’ve loved aviation. My friends now know an unhealthy amount of information about aviation, since I am constantly talking about planes. I’m currently interested in air traffic control as a future career, so I plan to study that at UND next fall. Commercial aviation and music education are also on my list of interests (which are two very different fields of study), so I’m still debating between the three majors. Both aviation and music are passions of mine, so I hope I can find a way to include both in my future.

I don’t have many plans for this blog other than english assignments. I might review/rant about the books I read if I ever figure out how to use wordpress. Until then, this blog will probably include the bare minimum.
