introductions

This blog is about a medical student who enjoys things other than being a medical student. These "things" include literary pursuits, culinary adventures, artistic endeavors and wild animal taming -- or, in other words, reading, cooking, crafting, and playing with my dog. My name is Katarina (but call me Kat) and I've been a resident of the Chicago-land area my entire life. I've been putting off this whole introduction thing because I wanted it to be perfect, and I was afraid of producing less-than-perfect blog material. I've had all these post ideas floating around in my head for months, but I've been a bit too scared to actually put them out there. But here I am now, just please don't judge me too harshly.

Me & my dog Indie

So dear audience, I hope you enjoy my creative musings. I've never been good at keeping a diary. At the very least this blog may preserve some of my hopes and fears, loves and hates, so that when I'm 90 years old and flying around in a rocket ship or something, I'll remember what it was like to be a little young thing with my whole life ahead of me. (Disclaimer: I'm terribly afraid of heights and have no desire to visit space, so I hope the Earth is still around then!)
