Anfangsseite! (or Welcome! in a language I don't speak)

Hello fellow bloggers!
I'm excited to delve into the blogging world, though I have always been a skeptic. I do not love the idea of someone else reading my thoughts, but this is clearly something I will have to overcome in my pursuits of being a writer.

Don't take that too seriously though. I have yet to choose a specific career path. I'm only three years through my first degree in a Canadian university, studying Political Science.

This semester I acquired a job at my schools newspapers, which has been the highlight of my year, academically, thus far. Not only do I write, but I also am an editor and assist with production. My enjoyment of this has furthered my interests in pursuing such a career, though it is not exactly a sound career path to look towards.

Outside of school and work, I love to read. Yet, I've been finding less and less time to do so, which is extremely unfortunate. I love to read almost anything and everything. I happily absorb political and historical texts, whether school-related or not. But my heart beats for deep, profound, emotional, witty and conversational texts. Though I admit to be in now-way an expert on such materials, I refuse to discriminate books by their genre.

A quote from one of my favourite novels:

So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be. - Perks of Being a Wallflower

I also love music. That really sets me apart from the masses, eh? (hehe)
I love all music, though. I have my favourites, just like anyone else, but I love it all.
I love live music. I love to play music, though the only thing I would label myself slightly successful at is vocals.
I have three beautiful puppies: Tucker, Farley, and Beazley, but they live with my parents.
Our beautiful chocolate holland lop bunny named Money lives with myself and my five roommates.

Well, I'm not sure how else to properly introduce myself.

I have complicated thoughts in regards to the world in which we live.

There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because his conscience tells him it is right.... -Martin Luther

And this is where I'll end.
G'day friends!

Lebe wohl meine Freunde!
