Hello to my followers, new and old, all are welcomed. My name is Katrina but people just tend to call me Kat since its easier to remember.I was born and raised in the city of Chicago and love every second of the city and its bipolar weather. 

Here is what I look like. majority of them are not recent though

I am an Ex Art School student from The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). I originally entered university for a degree in Art Education but my school was quick to take out that program from the degrees offered. I became a Studio Arts major as a default option as recommended by the advisors. I found out this year that I no longer wished to pursue art as a career. I wanted it more as a hobby and from there I pursued a transfer to a Veterinary Technician program. I am currently waiting for admission to the school and I would start in March

Now I’m going to share something not so pleasant but something that is mentioned on my blog often. Last year, on November 26th 2010, My father went missing around the border of Mexico with my 15 year old cousin and three others. We didn’t know that he planned to go across the border since he was supposed to stay in Texas for the thanksgiving weekend. My sister called me that monday morning on the way to school and told me that no one knew his whereabouts and no one heard from him. We began calling for help, for searches. We had the FBI’s help in finding them but no luck. we’re still hopeful in finding him, though we know the possibility of finding him alive is slim to none now. Please keep him in your thoughts if you have taken that time to read this, it means a lot to me really. I mention him a lot on my blog and I wanted you to know the story if you were curious on the situation. He was the main reason I started this blog but I seem to stray away from keeping this as a diary 

well, I’ll probably add more later when I think of something more but thanks for reading this. I hope you enjoy my blog and I hope we become fast friends
