I haven’t been around much to update lately, mainly because I’m busier than I’ve ever been in my life. I may be having a nervous breakdown, but my grades are fantastic! Eat that!

Anyway, thought I’d do this as a break between Shakespeare and writing and authority in ancient China. Mine is a crazy life.

2. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Despite the fact that my first name is Katie and I have an Aunt Kathy on my mom’s side, and my middle name is Sue and I have an Aunt Sue on my dad’s side, my parents claim there was no naming-after. Liars.
