First Day of Blogging

Hello all!

As you can tell from the title, this is the blog of an eclectic student (really, my life is that eclectic that I can label myself as eclectic).  For example, just some of my current hobbies are:

Taking care of my pet birds (Roberto, Sunny, and Gemini) and pet bonsai (Kenshin-san)
Bellydancing
Volunteering at the local animal shelter
Speaking Spanish and volunteering with the Latino Community (when I can get to the Latino Center)
Studying for the LSAT (if you can call that a hobby)
Playing guitar, and (attempting) to learn violin and djembe drums
Secretary to a pre-law student club
Reading (anything from Agatha Christie to Chaucer to various Manga series)
Blogging (obviously)
Etc.

So, besides my hobbies, I guess I should tell you all about myself.  I love almost every kind of music (minus rap and hard-country).  Seriously, my iPod is an eclectic mix of Pop, Classical, World, Blue Grass, Classic/Goth Rock, Folk, Latin, Alternative, etc.  Like I said, I've got every type of music on my iPod except for Rap and Country.  However, I'm not into the really generic types of pop (like Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Ke$ha, etc.) so maybe one day I'll actually take the time to post a list of my iPod library (when I have nothing to do, which is far in the future).

I'm a college student at UNC-Chapel Hill, and I am a senior graduating this coming May!  I'm an English Literature major, so reading and writing are a big part of my homework routine.  In fact, I should probably be getting back to my current list, which is Utopia by Thomas More and Down These Mean Streets by Piri Thomas.  So NNGB (Night Night God Bless) to everyone of all denominations, and I'll see you next time.

NNGB!
