About Katie

Hi, I'm Katie! Welcome to my blog, where I ramble about anything and everything. I'm 20 years old, a junior at Boston College and am pursuing a major in International Studies and a minor in French. I'm currently studying abroad at Sciences Po in Paris. I plan on keeping this experience well-documented by blogging every single day, even if my entries consist of only a few new words I learned, or a new picture I took. I love photography, traveling, reading, and cooking. I love all kinds of music; check out what I'm listening to at last.fm. Check out some more random facts about me, if you're so inclined...

    Hibernation?

    It was recently brought to my attention by Shwin that I’ve been neglecting my poor little blog, and I have received several demands that I continue writing…so here I am. I’m actually sitting at work, but am taking a wee break to fill y’all in on my life thus far this summer.

    FIRST: Sheila recommended doing a few “would you rathers.” So, would you rather be ugly or stupid? Post your answer and why in the comments section!

    Basically, I’ve been in hibernation. It’s kinda my post-school year thing that I’ve adopted, where I sleep, workout, work, and do absolutely nothing else in my spare time. It’s kinda like a much-needed recovery period from the hustle and bustle of the school year, and after a few weeks of it, I’m ready to re-enter the civilized world. Maybe this will happen soon enough?

    Anyhoo, so I’ve been working at Montvale Mortgage (anyone need a loan?) for my dad’s business partner. I’ve actually been doing some pretty interesting stuff. My objective for the next couple of weeks is to increase the company’s web presence via social networking sites. Sooo, much to my chagrin, I had to learn how to use Twitter (I tweet now), Wordpress (check out Montvale Mortgage’s blog), Twellow, Ping.fm, HootSuite, yada yada yada. I hate to admit it, but web marketing is actually pretty fun.

    WORK-ISMS:
    - I am glad my dad finally learned thevalue in not writing in all capital letters (took him a couple of years). He does still hunt and peck. Type2learn, anyone?
    - My brother’s coffee does indeed taste like melted hockey puck.
    - Throwing bouncy balls above the cubicles from my office into my brother’s office is completely (un)acceptable.
    - Bathroom keys suck. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked all the way to the bathroom, only to get there and realize I forgot the key.
    - The highlight of my day is refilling my coffee mug.

    I finally put up some more photography on facebook…check out the album here.

    Okay, anyways, I actually have to get back to work. BUT, don’t forget to answer the WOULD YOU RATHER posted above in the comments below, aaaand check out my photos! :)

    PS…anyone want to employ me? The mortgage company only has a few weeks of work for me. Ugh.
