Greetings! To all you who I know and all the people I have yet to meet (and still probably won't meet as we are most likely in different states or different parts of the globe).

Let me do a quick intro for the scads of folks who read this hungrily EVERY SINGLE DAY: My name shall be Katalina on this blog as my father is freaked out my identity and saftey will be compromised by me saying anything too personal on the net. I don't balme him - not with all the creepy crazies out there and plenty of stories to back him up. Well, my best friend decided last year that I needed a blog to write on since I was going off to college. She figured I would love to write all about myself and she would love to read it. . .  (She's laughing now, I can tell). Whatever the purpose or expectations may be for this . . . thing . . . let me say that I do for the most part enjoy it. My problem is finding time or inspiration to write and answering comments. Don't get me wrong! Who doesn't like a good comment every now and then?! Leave me one and some day in the near future you should get a reply. I hope.

Now it is my second year in college down in southern California. Good luck trying to find me, there are a million colleges down here! (Actually it's a University, but who's bragging?) I am a Theatre major and hope to teach Junior High performing arts someday. Yes, I'm crazy. But I was once a junior higher and know they desperatly need SOMEONE who cares. I also hope I can get involved or even help start an after-school-program type of thing for kids who need a safe place to go and be accepted. Doing this with performing arts is so amazing as it is one thing where they feel some sort of belonging (I know, sounds corny, but it's very true) and are able to come out of whatever shell they've been hiding in and be themselves. What is amazing is that by doing this I will get to be a Christian example to them  and will have the chance to shine Christ's love in their lives. Of course this all depends on God, right now that is my tentative plan but I keep praying that this is what He wants me to do. And that if it isn't, He will show me where to go next.

Oh, and before I log off let me talk about Russain!! I hope to go to Russia next summer on a three week mission trip with my school and I'm taking Russian right now. AMAZING!! It is much easier than you might think and learning about a different culture is always facinating. Okay, enough for now. I'll probably go off on something else next time around.  .  .

P.S. - Sorry, p.s' are sometimes standard. I'm leaving you with a question: If you had to choose between Ice Cream or Sherbet, which would you pick? And why in the world would you?!

Oh, I envy your Russian. :-) I really want to learn more. My college only teaches German, French, and Spanish, and I'm taking German.

The inspiration for my blog is... Randomness, really. I try to make everything as humorous as I can, though.

To answer your question, neither because I'm allergic to both ice cream and sherbet. :-/
