Today, I found myself a new friend in my first Saturday class. Her name is Ellie and she is quite the cheerful girl!
Ellie majors in Journalism, just like myself. She is also 19 years old, although, she is older than me by 5 months. If I would describe her, she would look like an orient beauty - think of Mulan. She also has a cheerful and light personality that can easily draw people to her. Fortunately for me, she became my partner for the first activity in class.
Through it, I found bits of interesting facts about Ellie. For one, she aspires to be an author. Ellie enjoys reading novels regularly and probably, that is the reason why she would like to be an author herself. She told me that her favorite novel changes every month and currently, she loves "The Diviners" by Libba Bray.
Interestingly, Ellie is also into tarot and palm reading. As a single child, Ellie has to find ways to satisfy her boredom. In this manner, she studied palm reading, eventually tarot reading, to satisfy and relieve herself. I was actually surprised upon hearing this, and gave Ellie quite the look. She probably read my mind and said that she knows what I am thinking because I was giving her the look. She later quipped that if her career as a journalist and an author would fail, she can set-up a stand in Quiapo to make a living out of these.
Ellie is a stay-at-home person meaning, she would prefer staying at home than going out. However if asked by friends, she would go with them.
She also likes to knit, due to the influence of the cartoon series on Disney channel, "Gravity Falls." She is currently knitting herself a sweater.
Ellie really is an interesting person. By meeting her, my horizon has expanded. I think my days in this class would be for the better.
