Assignment #1 - Irene Kim - Greetings

Hello, I'm Irene!

Currently, I'm lying inside a seven-foot tent in my living room, typing this up while watching a video for calculus and eating dinner. I'm in a bit of a time crunch--I have a camping trip tomorrow and a ton of work to get done by then. You gotta do what you gotta do.

For this school year, my only goals are to relax and try not to stress so much. My first two years of high school were a bit stressful, juggling AP classes, piano lessons, and Korean school, plus cornell notes on top of everything. This year, my parents and I decided to focus on just enjoying my time at school--of course, while maintaining acceptable grades. :) I'm trying to put myself more out there, which is easy to say behind a screen but not so much in person.

This summer was mainly devoted to traveling. Towards the end of sophomore year, my grandpa came to visit us from South Korea--which of course meant rearranging our furniture, changing our meal plan, and my mom pulling her hair out for about a month. (But we love him.) Right after his departure, we visited Gatlinburg for a couple days to hike up a small trail in the Smoky Mountains. We then planned a last-minute visit to Chicago for three days, where we did some sightseeing. The last outing of the summer came the week before school started--a five-day trip to Toronto. I was mainly excited to visit the hometown of Joana Ceddia, one of my favorite YouTubers. Although we didn't get to that particular outing, I loved seeing the Niagara Falls and visiting the butterfly conservatory.

As for superpowers, I'm not entirely sure. I was a major Harry Potter fan growing up, so I'd probably choose an Invisibility Cloak if I had the option. But flying sounds pretty nice, too. What geeks me out--a lot of things do, but I'd probably have to go with 70s music. (Or anything within the 60s-80s range.) I love listening to The Beatles, Queen, ABBA, and Elton John. This is getting long, so I'll stop here.
