Wanna talk about number one oh my me my.

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Olivia Burchett and I don't enjoy talking about my self because I have no idea what to say.

So, to start of I will say what geeks me out. Basically art, books, outer space, and everything in between. By nature I'm a very addictive person so I not only like to learn about everything, but I also like to learn everything about everything. So that being said my favorite website is StumbleUpon.com because it allows you to find websites, so interesting, some not so much, and learn about different things based on your interests. Oh I also have a slight obsession with murder investigation shows. I don't really have a favorite type of music, I'll listen to pretty much anything but as you can see from the title I occasionally listen to country.

My personal goals for this year are to have fun, but also stay focused in swimming and in school. Obviously junior year is one of your toughest academic years so I need to make sure to stay on top of my school work. Another goal for the year is to stay healthy. This is a goal because freshman year I got Mono so I was sick most of the year and last year I got diagnosed with abdominal migraines as well as really bad acid reflux among other things so I was also gone most of the year. So this year we're not getting sick. 

My favorite things to do are swimming, traveling, and exploring with my dog. Swimming I find is the best sport, it has everything. It can be competatitive with another person or just the clock. But it can also be relaxing and distressing . I find that whenever something bad has happened or I'm really worked up about something I always look forward to swim practice because I always feel better afterwards. I also enjoy traveling which, luckily, my family does a lot of. I find it so intriguing to not only hear and learn about other cultures and history but even more interesting to see it in person. I've been to England, Scotland, Italy, Canada, Mexico, Hawaii (3 times), Alaska, and all over the continental United States.  Last summer my mom, my brother, and I went to Ireland. Last spring break my mom, my dad, and I went to New Mexico, Four Corners, and Monument Valley (where we ran into Clay on the corner of a market as well as saw where Johnny Depp was going to film a western movie.) This past summer I got to see Seattle which was also fun. Also my brother lives in China, my sister in LA, and my brother might soon move to Nashville. 

There really was no most meaningful part of my summer because most of it was spent swimming for Wildcat Aquatics or for Spindletop, sleeping, or volunteering. So to bid you adieu, I will leave you with some of my favorite pictures from traveling.
