Holy crap-- I'm in Australia?! I'm here from January to May studying exchange at Sydney Uni. Normally I'm getting pelted by ice and wind in Boston. This is great.
I'm in my third year studying journalism and international relations. But that's boring... Music is my life and passion. I write some of my own stuff and have been in the process of sloooowly recording a demo at home. Someday hopefully I'll have time to finish, but for now the world is calling, and I'm here interning at fasterlouder.
Interests
Music (duh), gin and tonic, sleeping late, staying up late, Ben & Jerry's ice cream (which I dearly miss), festivals, laughing, mischief
