Read My (L)ink

Allow me to introduce myself

As I share a piece of my mind,

For you, if you wish, to add to your shelf

My goal, for now, is to bring

Information with a twist,

As I publicly pick apart my brain

…now do you get the jist?

As I attempt to make a mark in this new world

To Help show that I was hear 

I will be as honest to you as I can, better yet:

I will do my best to be my most sincere

Eye will show you with all different perspectives

What I see from where I stand

In my shoes you may feel for a minute,

What has originally traveled through my hand

I will wire my connections,

This will be my own web on a site,

For what you all as well know as a blog

I will discuss lots of topics

and yes, lets just face it,

You will probably see the occasional cat and/or dog

Some posts will be more intense 

Others won’t be quite as much

but to add to my goals, at the least,

I hope to provide you some sense

For examples all throughout this poem

I have showed to each of you

What I believe appears obvious,

And is underlined with a hue

 

But just in case, I will say it right out, for you: 

take your mouse and then click the link

Now be aware, when you follow these steps,

To a new place you will think

At times I will talk about some topics of interests,

of what I will refer to as my educational thrill

Other times I will share some things much more personal,

But with all I will send my Goodwill

So anyway let me go back to stage one

For I think you are better clued in

about what I’ve portrayed as some of my intentions

And also I want to announce to you,

surprise!

I will additionally be making some mentions

I will start from the beginning so first I will say:

besides this being a class that I am taking…

I’ll confess, I’ve wanted to do this for awhile

but please bear with me

This is all still in the making

Now brace yourself as I reveal to you,

a side of me a little more sappy

I will tell you about a hobby of mine,

that has always been able to make me happy

So listen if you wish,

Even if just with one ear

Another poem that portrays –> why eye speak hear <–

There is nothing like

the written word

It moves me from within

& let’s my voice be heard.

 

Where my mouth may fail,

 my hand makes up for

Pen to paper,

my voice found behind this magic door.

 

The whimsical movement,

each word perfectly caressed

The meaning so vibrant,

a playful talent to have,

a writer is blessed.

 

My piece of mind leads me

 to my peace of mind

Where part of my brain is addressed;

the words are my key to find.

 

A spark and a jolt,

a fashion of art

These words I let flow freely

 as they Kickstart my Heart

 

Spanish and Sustainability

  1. Since coming to college at Indiana University in Bloomington over year ago now, I’ve realized that I have two major goals that I always want to be working towards: becoming bilingual and going green.

    Let’s start with my perpetual love for the Spanish language.

    After taking Spanish classes for 8 years,  traveling to Spain for a week and living for a month in Oaxaca, Mexico, I decided to add Spanish as one of my majors and take every opportunity I can to learn more about the language the the culture of those who speak it.

  3. Fluent is defined as “speaking or writing with ease,” but I’ve learned that there’s much more to it than just that. After 8 years of classes, yes, I would say I’m advanced, but if you’re one of those people who wants to ask if I’m fluent – well, then I never really know how to answer. I’ll probably never have the same instincts as a native speaker, and there are some sets of vocabulary that I’ll maybe never need to know (unless I start a family or become a nanny in a latin american country, will I ever need to know the word for baby bottle?) But anyway, my goal is to get as close to fluent as possible.

    My other hope to “go green” was possibly brought on (definitely added to) by the culture here at IU.

  5. Obviously, there’s a lot of focus on sustainability here, so that’s how I really got interested in it. My family has always recycled and spent time outdoors, but never as much as I do now. When I came to college, I started doing a lot more camping and backpacking. I learned about Leave No Trace on a few of the trips I went on, and something about it just really stuck with me. I wanted to use as many of the principles that I could in every day life.

  7. I’ve learned a lot of different ways to work towards these goals in my every day college life, and that’s what I want to share with you! More to come soon.
