Nice to meet you


Hello, my name is Emily Tobin. I’m a senior at Michigan State University, and in May, I will graduate with a degree in English Literature. Because I’m a senior, this semester I am very busy applying to graduate schools. Also, I have a lot of homework (usually Japanese), so school takes up most of my time. Reading and writing are two of my favorite things to do when I’m not busy with homework, and I also really love to exercise by riding my bike. I’m in the MSU anime club too, which is a lot of fun, and I go to a lot of movies with my friends on weekends. This is my last semester at MSU, so I’ll be sorry to leave, but I’m also excited to start graduate school, where I’m going to be studying Library Science.
I am an only child. My parents live in a town called Big Rapids, and I have a pet cat at home named Speedy. During the summer, I work at the library in Big Rapids, where this summer I had to dress up as a caterpillar. (That sounds really strange, but it actually happened—I’ll post a picture sometime). Something else that happened this summer was that my friend got married, which was exciting, but also kind of sad, since now she’s moved to another state. Still, I’ll probably see her some time over winter break, so that should be fun.
So far this fall, the weather has been really nice, and I’m really not looking forward to winter. (I don’t have a car, so even when it’s really snowy, I have to ride my bike everywhere). The picture at the top is one I took in one of the MSU gardens last year. I like going there to study this time of year, because usually it's very quiet.
This past summer, I saved the money I made at work so I could buy the computer I’m typing on now. But since I don’t know everything about my new computer yet, I still need to figure out how to type in Japanese. -_-! So I’ll do that for my next blog. Talk to you later!
