Today, it decided to snow.
And by "it" I mean the clouds above Gambier. I guess the snow is just trying to make one last appearance before the curtains close on winter and springtime takes the stage. At least, that's what I'm hoping.
Snow is kind of a new thing for me. I mean, in this quantity. I don't remember much about the winters before I turned six and moved to South America. And we seldom came back to the U.S. in December (because that was when summer started in Brazil!). So when I moved to St. Louis, I was looking forward to the White Christmases that to me characterized the picturesque American holiday season. To my dismay, the snowfalls were few and far between.
This year was different. There was snow on the ground in Gambier from right after Thanksgiving until mid-February when we had a strange stint of sunny, warm days. It snowed the next weekend. And just as I thought I would begin to see the sun consistently and would be able to put my puffy coats and scarves away for the season, I look out the window and a million tiny dip n' dots start falling and sticking to the quiet, damp ground.
I can't wait for April.

Bem Vindos!
Welcome!
In all honesty, I have absolutely no real good reason for writing a blog. I tend to follow the notion that you should only write something worth reading, and you should only read something that makes you feel that quiet flutter of inspiration. Hopefully some of what I share will be worth it!
A little about myself:
I am eighteen years old and a first-year at Kenyon College in Gambier, OH. Basically, I live in the middle of nowhere. And somehow I love it. Even though I grew up in one of the biggest cities in the world--São Paulo--I somehow feel at home among the ancient trees and rolling hills of rural Ohio.
I was named after a song by Bread. Check it out.
I have four little brothers who, despite their many outbursts and quirks, always make my day.
Although I have yet to declare a major, I am thinking either Physics or English. fyi I have trouble making decisions.
Food is one of my greatest passions. I adore reading about, watching, cooking, and eating it. It has made me a bit of a food snob.
Most importantly, I love the English language. And that's what I want to share.
