Introductions

Well, I’m not really the best at introductions but here is some basic information about myself. My name is Margaret Muller, but everyone calls me Maggie. I am eighteen years old and my birthday is on May 8th. I live on Long Island in New York in a small town called Bayport- Blue Point. It is about an hour and a half away from the city by train. So, it is far enough away to keep out of all the madness, but close enough to visit every so often. I live right on the bay and grew up around boats, but I don’t know very much about them.

When I was in high school I twirled baton. Most people have a skewed perception of twirlers. Usually they are thinking about majorettes and color guard. It is an actual sport though; where people go and compete against other teams. We didn’t march in front of the band in weird costumes or anything embarrassing like that. It is basically like competitive dancing, but with a prop. It is also not as easy as people might think. I really enjoy scrapbooking too. I think it is a great way to keep memories in a creative way. My two best friends, Alison and Emily, and I have nights where we all work on a couple pages together. I absolutely love musicals, and wish I could sing so I could be in them. I’m actually listening to Bye Bye Birdie as I write this. (I saw it on Broadway over the winter break. John Stamos was in it and one of the actors from Spectacular, the Nickelodeon attempt at High School Musical. It was wonderful. However, the girl who played Kim seemed sick so she was slightly pitchy.)

This is my first year in college, so I’m a freshman, but I have enough credits to be a junior because of the AP classes I took in high school. I am a film studies major and am thinking about double majoring in theatre as well. I have always enjoyed movies and televisions, so I thought, why not try it out as a career? I have never been very good at English. Every single quarter in high school I got a 94 in English when all my friends were getting 99’s and 100’s. Don’t get me wrong, I love reading and keeping journals. But, I get confused with grammar and hate symbolism which I can never seem to find. I am looking forward to this class though. I hope to get better at writing and maybe finally enjoy an English class.
Until next time.
Maggie
