The obligatory "about me" post

Wait, two posts in two days? What am I, some sort of super-blogger? Actually I am done with my calculus homework (I am just as surprised as you are) and I have nothing to do. It is nice to have something to do other than mindlessly scroll through the humor board on Pinterest. So maybe it will turn out that there will be tons of posts on this blog and I really will become famous. Haha, but seriously, I think I will do more than these two posts! I am going to try to do at least one per week. Oh, I also changed the background of my blog. The birds are more classy, don't you think?

So what will this one be about? I think I will use this to tell you a little about me. If you are my friend then you probably know a lot of this, but maybe there will be something that surprises you. If you are a random stranger reading this, I'm not really sure if I should be creeped out or honored. I think I am more creeped out. (fun fact: according to the spell check on my computer, "creeped" is not a word. I feel that this is inaccurate information)

Okay, so about me. Should this be a list? I think I will make a list.
1. My name is Kara Nicole Walterhouse. Apparently my mom thought that would be an original name. I guess I don't know too many Kara's, but I am definitely not the only one. Oh, also it is pronounced care-a, not car-a. Seriously people, it isn't that difficult. And the middle name: Nicole... original? I'm pretty sure that 95% of the girls born in the 90's have Nicole as there middle name. Or Marie. I do like my name, although I am wondering what it will sound like when I'm an old lady. But that's a whole other thing.
2. There are some who would say that my real name is Florence. To them I would say, don't worry, I will not forget my true name.
3. I am a Math Education major. Why math? Because I like it. I know that most people who are reading this think I am crazy. I usually get a weird look the when the word "math" comes out after the words "My major is...", but whatever, I like it.
4. I go to Bethel College, which is pretty much the coolest place ever. Sure there are restrictions against dancing... and R rated movies... and sharing a blanket with the opposite sex ("blanketing" as we call it)... and we have a curfew. But I really do love it. I know that this is where God wants me to be. There a good people here who fill my life with happiness. Who cares if we can't do unbethical things?
5. I really love to sing. I just love music in general. I've been in choirs since middle school, and the choir at Bethel has been one of the highlights of my freshman year. I wouldn't say I am a great solo singer or anything (unless I am by myself), but if you need some harmony to back up that great soloist, I'm your girl.
6.I seriously have the greatest friends I could ever imagine. Some I have met at school, others I have had since I was younger. Some double as my cousins, and one happens to be my little brother. I am not going to mention any names because I know I would forget someone and then I would feel bad. If you are reading this and you think I am talking about you then I probably am. Unless you are creepy (Kyle, don't worry, I know you are creepy. You can still be my friend)
7. I am a horrific speller. Seriously, I don't know what I would do without spell check. Sometimes I google things when I am hand-writing something so I don't misspell it. I think my problem is that I second guess myself all the time, then I end up with the wrong spelling. Sometimes spell check doesn't even know what I am trying to say. When that happens, I usually just change the word. I thought that "each other" was one word until about a month ago, I am not kidding. It's a problem.
8. Like it says in the "About Me" thing on the side, sometimes technology confuses me. Maybe it is more accurate to say that I don't always trust technology. I am a little paranoid about getting a virus on my computer, so if something I am doing requires a download I usually exit out as quick as I can, even if it would be perfectly safe. Yes, I have all the virus protection stuff (thanks to my tech-savvy little brother), but I am still paranoid. Also, when I am working on math problems using a calculator, I will sometimes work out a problem by hand because I don't trust the calculator's answer. I almost always get the same answer (when I don't I am usually wrong). It's whatever.
9. I'm not really sure if I am an introvert or and extrovert. I think I am somewhere in-between  There are times that I don't want to talk to anyone and I just want to sit on my bed and drink tea and listen to music without anyone around me. There are other times where I just want to talk to someone, or even being around people makes me feel better. It's weird.
10. I used to think that I hated action movies. I was a rom-com girl all the way. However, now that I have watched a few action movies, I have found that I love them. I still love my chick-flicks, but now I enjoy watching movies with big battles and gun fights. And superheros.

Well I think that is enough for now. This is getting really long. I still don't know how to end a post, so I think I will again use the assistance of my good friend Grumpy Cat.

seriously, my favorite thing
