A Little About Me

First off, the basics. My name is Katie, I grew up in Ankeny, I have two younger brothers and a pet fish, I love to read, I learned to crochet last year and really enjoy it, and I love music. I am a music therapy/music ed major.

I am really enjoying Wartburg so far. The fact that Wartburg is the place that I decided to call home for the next four years is a little surprising, when you consider that both of my parents and a few of my uncles all went to Luther, but it really is not all that incredible because Wartburg is a great school. From what I have seen, Wartburg is a very welcoming and friendly place. I am glad that this is where I ended up. This first week or so has been crazy though! I love my roommate. Coincidentally, we share the same name. We are both Kathryn Elizabeth and prefer to go by Katie. We get along really well. I am in a bunch of classes this fall. I am taking PE (at 7:45 in the morning, something I am not terribly excited about), Music Theory I, Principles of Music Therapy, Therapeutic Ensemble Directing, IS 101 and Psychology of the Exceptional Learner. Along with all of this I am also taking lessons on both the French horn and piano and am a part of Symphonic Band. I am also working in the Mensa two days a week. I am quickly discovering the importance of time management! I am meeting some wonderful people at Wartburg, many of them from my IS class. I really liked having the opportunity to meet some of my classmates before school actually started. It was a good way to meet people that I probably would not have otherwise.

I chose this class for different reasons than some of my peers did. I have never read a Michael Crichton book before and have not even seen Jurassic Park prior to this class. I am looking forward to both of these things. I signed up for this class because I knew that I like science and I like reading fiction books. I am looking forward to reading his books. The one we needed to purchase looks really good! I have never written a blog before either. I am thankful that I have the chance to experience all of these new things!

I believe that is all for now. Until next time!
