To bravely swim where no fish has swum before...

I have been swimming all my life. My parents practically took me right out of the womb and plopped me into the ocean and said "swim, baby, swim". So thrashing amidst the waves and currents of life, I used my chubby baby arms and feet to support me, and swam.



So maybe the way I learned to swim didn't happen quite like that, but that's how I like to tell it at parties.



I am a Pisces and a passionate one at that. I love to swim, I love the ocean and I most definitely love those crazy swimming caps with tons of bright, in-your-face, fake flowers (I'm pretty sure my Grandma has about five). Though cheesy and perhaps contrite, I love life and don't apologize for it. I started this blog so that I could muse about life, love and travel and I plan to do just that.



From May 2010 through July 2011 I will be experiencing one of the most amazing adventures of my life, my senior year of college. During this year I will be spending a month in the boisterous city of Manhattan, singing my heart out at the Manhattan School of Music Summer Voice Festival. I will also be spending the months of February through July in Verona, Italy to finish up my Italian minor and happily spend my last semester of college. In between, in the great city of Tucson, I will be performing feats that are nothing short of epic...so stay tuned.



Originally, I wanted to use this blog as a way to stay connected to my friends and family while we are apart. Due to the high likelihood that the only family member reading this on a regular basis will be my Grandma, I will now use this blog as a way to organize some of the blessed chaos happening in my head while I am experiencing the wonder that is the world.



So stay sassy my friends and get excited. You're in for a wild ride. I mean swim.

Peace, Love and Calamari,

Geni
