ABOUT ME
A country girl getting used to being a city girl.
A student at Northwestern University, studying Theatre...and Italian, and Dance, and Psychology, and whatever else I can get myself into.
A blossoming puppeteer.
An avid tap dancer.
Eager to get out and explore new cultures, adding new colors to my palette.
PHILOSOPHY
In the making! but for now, here's a quote I live by:
"I would like to beg you dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer."
-Rainer Maria Rilke, 1903 in Letters to a Young Poet

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue
My first year at college, I rode my bike along Lake Michigan in early spring. I stood at the lakeside as the ice was melting and cracking and being pushed towards the shore; it looked like an endless stretch of broken window panes pushed on top of each other in jagged rows. The roaring sound of miles of cracking and shifting ice was phenomenal!
