Now that she's back in the atmosphere, with drops of Jupiter in her hair...

Hi!!

Welcome to my blog! I figured now that I’m out in California a few thousand miles away from almost everyone I know having all kinds of awesome experiences, it would be a good time to start. I always thought people with blogs were so cool and had such interesting lives. So thanks to all you people out there with your own blogs who inspired me!! Anyway, I’m really excited. Now that I’m finished with undergrad and 10 graduate school applications, I feel like I have all this new free time to do stuff I’ve always wanted to do… like running, yoga, working on my Spanish, this blog, so on and so forth. Even if my mom is the only one to read it (Hi Mom!!), I’ll still update as a way for me to remember everything that happens to me this year, especially all the experiences that make life really great.

I can’t exactly take credit for the name of my blog... I was beat to a great idea so I decided to just go with it! But Karl can’t take credit for the name of his fish (Spotkles and the late Sunny), so we’re even. It’s from the song Drops of Jupiter by Train, which has always been a favorite of mine. It’s about a girl who becomes an astronaut and flies all over the universe and gets Jupiter stuck in her hair. No, actually, I’m not a big lyrical interpreter, but I think it’s a cool song about a girl who lives her life to the fullest and tries not to miss any opportunities. That’s kind of what I’m going for! Thanks for reading :-)
