A Little About Miss Katie-Bug

Since many people in this class don’t know each other, and therefore, don’t know me, I figured I could tell a little about myself.  My name is Kathryn Renae Zimmer. Most people call me me Katie, some Kate, and a few have their own names for me. I don’t care what you call me, as long as it isn’t offensive. Katieball Z is one of those nicknames. One of my friends had me saved in his phone as “Katie Z”, and he is a HUGE!! Dragonball Z fan, so it just turned into Katieball Z. Like I said, I don’t care what you call me. I am blessed with 19 wonderful years on this planet, with hopefully many more to come.

I live in Ruma with my mom, dad, two brothers, and four dogs. My sister just moved out in the beginning of July. She’s 21, and decided Mom didn’t have a right to hit her even though she was screaming in Mom’s face. She’s staying with some friends now.

I work at Waterloo Pizza Hut, and I have been there for three years and nine months on the 21^st. I was originally hired as a cook, but I also am now a customer service representative, driver, and I was trained as a server. I will never become a shift manager unless I have a guarantee of promotion to assistant manager. Shift leaders don’t make enough to put up with what they do.

This is my second year of college, but I am still a freshman. I went to SIU-C for a year, but didn’t like the atmosphere and didn’t learn well there. I did not party too much. That is everyone’s reaction when I tell them I didn’t learn well there.  Simply put, I failed pretty miserably and would have only had like 6 credits transfer, plus I couldn’t get my transcripts from them, so I took last year as a loss and started over with a clean slate here at good ole SWIC.

I love being outdoors. When I get a chance I love to go fishing, although I do get discouraged easily and tend to quit very early in. I don’t like not catching anything, and my dad finds the worst spots ever to fish at. I catch more “big moss bass” than actual fish. I love reading and writing, but for some reason these journal topics don’t come very easily. I’m better at writing poetry and cute little sayings than I am at actually writing about someone in a more organized manner.

Well I guess that is all I can think of to say for now. If you want to know any more about me, just ask. I promise, I don’t bite, well, often. Haha.
