Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it. Those who do not do it, think of it as a cousin of stamp collecting, a sister of the trophy cabinet, bastard of a sound bank account and a weak mind.

My beginning as a legally recognized individual occurred on July nineteenth of the year 1991. About four years proceeding this event were spent in play time and carefree mode, or the "best years" as I like to call them. I was then suddenly thrush into an organized following of children much like myself. I was kept from my home for most of the day being taught facts about mathematics, science, and many other subjects. (Useless facts that would serve no relevance in my later life.) After about twelve years of this, I was finally released, only to realize I would have to spend more time being educated in order to pass the exam called real life. And I find myself here, completing more educational instruction except at a much advanced level and still trying to figure out what to do with my future.

Which is my obnoxious way of saying: Hey, I'm Carolina. I'm a twenty year old student whose major is still undeclared.
