As you may already know, my name is Kristina, and I am the girl behind this blog. One thing you should know about the creation of this blog is that it started out as a way to track my progress on a few projects for my sophomore English class in the months of March to April of 2017. In the future, I hope to be able to add elements to this blog that describe me as a whole -- a way to document what goes on in my seemingly-boring life and share what goes on in my brain -- my likes, dislikes, my current obsessions as a teenage girl -- to the world. Don't get me wrong, every now and then I will have an adventure! I travel a decent amount and I really want to get a chance to explore more regions across the world. I'm aiming to be more open to new ideas and take more risks.
I stay up late trying to finish projects (and not just for school) quite often because one of my flaws (I have so many!!) is that I try to do everything at once.

I'm 17 years old, and although I'm not a child prodigy who's discovered the cure to cancer, from the 17 years of living on this planet I can tell you the things that I've accomplished thus far:
I play the piano, and have been since I was 6 years old. I used to love it and retain the skill for it, but after I turned 12 I began to loose interest for it. However, my dad still forces me to go to piano lessons, so I try to make the best of it.

Music is not my only hobby. I used to actively play tennis in and out of school, but not I just do it for fun. I also love to do therapeutic running. What's that? I don't even know if that's a thing, but basically what I do is that I run when I have lots of things on my mind. I'm not particularly good at running, but I enjoy it, and that's good enough, right?
Hopefully, movie-watching is a hobby. I don't think I enjoy anything more than coming home after a long week of school and watching a good ol' movie. I enjoy a range of movies -- from Hollywood's Golden Age movies and Disney's classics to contemporary drama, comedy, and horror -- you name it, I'll probably put it on my "Movies to Watch" list.

I'm an emotional person. Ever since I discovered the art of writing poetry in the second grade, I have been writing bits and pieces of mostly emotional poetry when I am feeling anything other than content. What's more, is that I found out a few years ago that my grandmother was known for her poetry! It must run in the family.
The languages that I am in command of are English (as you can see) because I live in the United States, Spanish, because I am half-Argentinian, and French (fun fact: this was the first language I learned to speak, but as of now, I am not fluent, however slowly getting there with my french classes) because I am half-French.
If school were to be considered a hobby, although it feels more like a full-time job, I would say for the most part I enjoy it. You could call me a try-hard I guess -- I believe that I am more book-smart than street-smart, and I have to study a lot and spend a long time on homework to excel. Sometimes I wish I could be naturally smart like some of my class-mates. I have yet to find my talent!
I have no idea what I want to do as a "grown-up". The idea of graduating from high school and moving on with the next stage of my life in 2 years scares the heck out of me. For now, I am trying to do well in school so I can have several opportunities and choices for college. Perhaps I'll more far away, maybe even out of the country! Who knows? In the mean time, enjoy my little world :)
