Introduction I started this blog to get extra credit for a news writing class--hence the bitter-sounding URL. Then I converted it into a blog for my sister to post my emails while I was on my mission to Panama, and now I just use it to post some random thoughts now and then...so sorry for the (sometimes) scatter-brained entries and multiple audiences, but I hope you still enjoy it! P.S. Behold the wonder that is Lake Calhoun (above). I miss Minnesota!
Interests anything outside: hiking, running, camping, biking, swimming, climbing--I love it all! Animals! More specifically puppies and kittens but I love all kinds of animals (minus fish) painting, being creative any way I can, reading, makin new friends and catching up with old ones

Oscillate my metallic sonatas with your plan for the Panama canal:

I don't really understand what that's asking, but I like that it mentions Panama because I lived there for a year and a half and I love those people!
