Who Am I?

Hi everyone!
My name is Kaitlin Batik. I'm from Long Island, New York and I'm 19 years old. I’m about to start my third year of college. I enjoy reading, writing, and theatre--both watching shows and performing in them. I'm in the process of writing a book. My goal is to finish the first draft by the end of the year.
I have a YouTube channel where I post poetry videos and videos talking about books. At this point the videos about books are just in terms of books I’ve read, but I also want to add stuff about writing.
That’s also part of the reason I’m starting a blog. I’m still undecided about whether I want to get my book represented by an agent or go the self-publishing route. Regardless, having my name out there and recognizable will more than likely come in handy once the book is available for purchase. Also, there may be times when I want to talk about something but don't have time to film and edit a video.
I'm not sure what else to say, so I’ll list some random facts about myself.
1. The first musical I performed in was Fiddler on the Roof in my freshman year of high school. I played one of many unnamed villagers.
2. I was involved with the literary magazine in all four years of high school. Putting the magazine together involved a lot of hours after school but it was a lot of fun and I met a lot of great people.
3. I’ve traveled by plane to get to Europe, but I’ve never used an airplane to get from one location in the United States to another location in the United States.
4. Pandas (both giant pandas and red pandas)are my favorite land animal. Beluga whales are my favorite sea animal.
5. I know American Sign Language and German. I know how say some phrases in other languages but those are the two languages other than English I know best.
6. The first story I wrote is called “The Baby Who Rode a Motorcycle.” It was inspired by some toys from my dollhouse. I wrote and illustrated it on computer paper.
7. Most of the music I listen to is from Broadway cast recordings (and their German translations). Outside of Broadway, the 5 artists I’ve purchased the most songs from on iTunes (in order from most to least) are The Beatles (including their solo careers), All Time Low, Green Day, Taylor Swift, and Hank Green.
Thanks for reading this! I hope to write another post soon. :)
