Introducing The Girl Who'll Float Away

I thought that before I start blogging about lectures, tutorials and other such significant things, I should introduce myself.

Hi.

I'm Laura. This is me (see the picture below). If you see someone walking at Saint Lucia who looks like this, come up and say hello. I'm rather shy, so chances are you're going to have to be the brave one and initiate contact.  

So, I suppose now comes the part where I talk about myself....this is going to be a little painful as I am naturally a very shy person. So please bare with me and allow for some idiosyncrasies.

Age - 19 (12/02/1993)

Degree - Bachelor of Arts majoring in International Relations and Journalism
             - Bachelor of Communication majoring in Public Relations

Favourite Colours - Black, White and Grey (Yes, they may not be "colours" but saying favourite "shades" is just annoying)

Interesting Facts -

• My dog is named after the character "Rum Tum Tugger" from the musical 'Cats'. Isn't he cute?!

• I collect books of quotes and sayings, and have done so since I was 12. Here are some of my favourite quotes -

"Not all who wander are lost" by J.R.R. Tolkien

"A prayer for the wild at heart kept in cages" by Tennessee Williams

"Sometimes we think we want to disappear, but all we really want is to be found" by unknown.

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain"  told to me by someone very dear who I miss everyday. 

 

•  I am currently addicted to the show "Boston Legal". It's a very sad day for me when I don't get time to watch an episode.

• Next Saturday to Sunday I am doing "Relay for Life". It's an event to raise funds for the cancer council. Here's a link to the website if you want to learn more about it - http://www.relayforlife.org.au/

• My dream is to travel the world. I feel that there is so much to experience out in the world, and I want to do it all. I want to see the great pyramids in Egypt. I want to stand at the top of the Empire State Building in New York. I want to walk along the Great Wall in China. Swim in the clear blue waters of Greece. Have a romantic dinner in Paris. I want to do it all! And I hope that my degree with open up so many amazing doors which allow me to fulfil my dreams. It's for this reason that my friends say "if we don't tie you down, you'll float away from here!"

That's all I really have to share. I hope this is okay for an introductory blog.
