Hello, my name is Autumn Pepper. I'm a violin performance major at the University of Arizona, and I'm the same age as everyone else: an incoming sophomore! I'm from a small town near Tucson called Safford. Being from a small town, Tucson was a welcome change, and New York is even a bigger change (no kidding!). I really like all the hustle and that there is so much constantly going on! I'm not much of a person to get bored very easily, but if you are, you definitely would find it hard to do in such a happening place. Today was Saturday, and half of us went to see Mamma Mia, and half of us went to the Museum of Natural History. I went there after Alexa did on Thursday, but I didn't see much of it. Today I think I saw all of it, and it was so much to take in! I was really overwhelmed, but I learned a lot, actually. To me, it felt like the museum tried to contain the whole world. Every animal, person, insect, and plant were represented somehow. I loved
comparing the different cultures of humanity around the world. You start
to see similarities, and realize that what you find familiar or exotic
aren't really that at all. You can see foreign things in what you
thought you knew so well and familiar things in what you thought was
strange. I don't know, I like making complicated and vague observations
like that! I also did my laundry today. Living is about putting the
profound next to the mundane! So anyway, that was what my day was
like--reflective and exhausting! I look forward to seeing what Saturday
night in New York City has in store!

| I love this quote so much. There are four of them around the first big room in the museum where you stand in line for your ticket. |
