Sarah in a Nutshell



            Hi there everyone!  In case you didn’t know already, my name is Sarah.  Just a warning: I have never written a blog before, so bear with me here.
            I am keeping this blog for my “Literature and the Environment” class.  In this blog, I will write weekly posts about my experiences with nature and the world around me.  Today, however, I will just start by telling you a little bit about myself.  I am currently a senior at Grand Valley State University and am studying Elementary Education and English.  I am a born-and-raised West Michigan girl, so I love being around water.  My hobbies include swimming (for both recreation and for sport), baking, and, of course, binge-watching television shows on Netflix.  I am a bit of a nerd and would honestly rather stay in on a Friday night and play board games and watch movies with friends than go out and party.  I can be either introverted or extroverted, depending on the situation I am in; I guess you could call me an ambivert.  I also consider myself to be a cat person, if that helps you get a picture of what I am like.  I am a kind, thoughtful, and curious person.  People also tell me that I am funny—I mean, at the very least, I certainly laugh at my own jokes!  One of my biggest passions is reading.  I have always loved it and always will.  I will typically read just about anything—I’m willing to give anything a chance!  At some point during this semester, I will probably write a blog post about reading in my hammock in the woods (one of my favorite outdoor activities), so stay tuned.
            I’ll admit, when I first heard about this assignment, I was a bit nervous about it.  I think the idea of publishing my writing in an online forum was what I found most anxiety-inducing. This blogging thing is pretty new to me, but I generally like to try new things, so I am looking forward to experimenting with this type of writing.   Who knows?  Maybe I will really enjoy it and will decide to continue with it in the future.  We’ll have to wait and see…
