The name is Courtney. Nickname = Court
I'm a mutt. A mix of English, Irish, Norwegian, and Austrian. So yes I am super pale. I have a major Vitamin D deficiency that gives me intense headaches...
I'm 19. I act like I'm 30.
Texas born and bred.
I am an extremely sarcastic person. It's just my personality I can't help it... Practically everything I say I am joking about. I don't like to be serious ever.
I think I'm funny, but I'm really not...
I got really sick my senior year of high school. I currently have symptomatic non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease. And I no longer have my gallbladder which helped my erosive esophagitis.
Then last year in my first year of college I started having ocular migraines. Not sure what's going on there but I will probably have to have an MRI at some point to rule out anything.
I'm pretty liberal and I stuck out like a sore thumb during my first year of college in Tyler, Texas.
I love to write and read and watch television (primarily British) and listen to music.
I'm a full fledged Anglophile!
I will be attending the University of Texas in Austin in exactly 61 days...I'm just a little excited!!!!
I will technically not have a declared major at first but I already know what I want to do. Second semester I will attempt to transfer into the college of Fine Arts and change my major to Art History.
When I 'grow up' I want to be a conservator in a museum (which means restoring old paintings to bring them back to their original beauty) My dream would be to work at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. or at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. I have never been to either. I don't get out much.
I am a Nanny for a couple days a week to two adorable kids (ages 8 and 10)

But really the plan for this blog is for me to rant and rave about my life as a summer nanny, as a transfer student, my life living in Austin, and then for my plans for next summer.

Next summer I will be studying abroad in Europe for 5 weeks. The trip starts out in Amsterdam and I will stay there for 6 days. For a couple of those days the students are allowed to pack up and go wherever they want. My plan is to fly to Rome then back to Amsterdam. The next cities are Berlin, Paris, then London.
I have always wanted travel all over the world and I feel so lucky to have this dream of mine come true!
More to come later!
