Kara's Post

Part 1

Hey everyone. My name is Kara Dyer. I am 18 years old and this is my first year of college at Whatcom. I am only in my second quarter, but I'm getting use to it. I am going to Bellingham Technical College for Dental Hygiene once I am done at Whatcom. I was born in Coupeville, WA and grew up in Hawaii for a few years. Then I moved back to Washington and I've been living here ever since. I don't mind the rainy weather too much. I love playing tennis and volleyball. They are my favorite sports. I love to play wii all the time, or when I can. I like knowing what is going on in the world, but it's kind of hard when I don't have cable at my apartment. I have a boyfriend I am living with right now. I enjoy listening to music alot, except for country music. It drives me nuts. I've had three jobs since high school, and my current job is working at Haggen.

My most frequently used form of writing would definitely have to be texting, although typing is a close second. I text quite often, but not as much as others. I just find it easy when you don't know if someone is too busy for a phone call or someting. I text pretty much everywhere - in the car, at school, on my breaks at work, places like that. I ususally just write responses to the texts I get, or ask a question to someone. I choose this type of writing because it's simple. You don't get hand cramps from using a writing utensil, and you don't have to be talking to that person directly if you don't want to. A simple text will do. This type of writing interferes when I am driving. I know it's dangerous, but I admit I do it. It's just a pathetic habit of mine. My life would definitely be not as social without it, because I text to keep in touch with my friends who are out of state, and my sisters who are off doing their own thing as well. I don't think it's a bad form of writing. It's very useful.
