Tragically Unhip Professors Try to be Scene

My name is Catherine and I'm in love with University of Illinois! My major at school is English literature, and I'm getting a minor in Religious Studies. I hope to go into publishing after I graduate, which I feel like I could be good at because it requires one to be a little bossy and I'm the first-born in my family. Enough said. In the spring, I will be traveling to London for study abroad, and will be living in Notting Hill (like the movie!) Please let me know if you have any questions for me!
