Sandy introduction
Hi everybody. Sandy here.
I'm 17 and just graduated from high school in Concord, Massachuestts.
I'm headed to Vassar in fall 2009, where I'm hoping to go into International
Development type-y stuff, so there seemed no better use for this year than
to defer and get out and be in the world.
So let's see, more about me:
I love spontaneous dance eruptions and/or bursting out into
random song, strawberry cheesequake blizzards from Dairy Queen, ice cream in
general, fireflies, stargazing, building forts, traveling, pushing myself to
try new things, collaging, scrubs, and shopping for craft supplies with my
mom for all the random projects we only sometimes get around to doing.
This summer I'm spending time doing a lot of babysitting and helping out at
my mom's school. For three weeks in August, too, I'm going to the mountains
of northern India (near Tibet), with a Tibetan Buddhist monk I know, to
visit a school he opened for local children a few years ago, which should be
so great. Knowing him has I think deepened my interest in India and eastern
culture, and was part of what drew me to this program as opposed to other
locations.
I am so excited. I can't believe we're leaving in a matter of weeks-- I
can't wait to meet you all soon!!
Love,
<3 sandy
p.s. This is me and my adorbsicle cousin Catie. :)
