about serendipity's blog

For someone who usually resorts to hitting the computer in frustration when things go awry, the creation of this blog was a great undertaking.  While I do admit to spending long hours on the internet thanks to Facebook and Youtube, I am definitely the least tech savvy person in my family.  I usually have to ask my little sister for help when iTunes is frozen, or when I need help formatting a powerpoint.  It took me 37 minutes to figure out how to get the starfish picture on the background of this blog. This is all a very new experience for me.

me :P

Since this is my first blog, I thought I should just introduce myself and the explain why I decided to venture into this confusing realm of personal expression through the internet.  I was actually inspired by the movie Julie&Julia.  (You know the one where Amy Adams sets this challenge for herself to cook every recipe in Julia Child's cookbook and blogs about it).  Because I want some practice writing, and because I thought it sounded fun, I decided to make a blog for my summer in San Francisco.  I am an aspiring ballet dancer, and I'm going to be attending the San Francisco Ballet's summer intensive training program.  So I get to live in San Fran for 5 weeks! I'm planning on blogging about ballet in general, being a tourist in San Fran, plus other random summery stuff.  Like food and fashion and makeup and movies.  Fun stuff.

Serendipity is my goofy pseudonym. I thought it would be fun if I didn't put my real name on my blog, but all of my followers are probably going to be my friends, so it doesn't matter anyways...I called it serendipity because it means "happy accident".   I think its fitting for my summer adventure because you never know what you will find when you travel to new places.    Also, I hope some people will stumble upon my blog on accident and be amused...
