Ondine

Who I am

Hello! My name is Misa, but many of my online friends call me Ondine. I think one of the main things which defines me is my love for learning. I have latent interests in many fields, but the main ones today are history, languages, literature, and the piano, which will be discussed as I expand this website. Other than that, I am a student who loathes school, an American, and a girl.

More concerning my interests

The piano

I have been playing the piano since I was five. At first, I found it terribly boring—my parents signed me up against my will. As I grew older, though, I came to like it more and more, and it now contstitutes of the primary parts of my life. My username, ‘Ondine’, is a reference to the first movement of Ravel’s Gaspard de la Nuit, one of the most difficult pieces in the world. My favorite composer is Rachmaninoff, but most of his good pieces are still beyond my ability.

Languages

My favorite language is probably Russian—many find it harsh, but to me, it’s a cool, crisp, cutting sound. After that, Latin, but its grammar, although beautiful, is exhausting… For example, why must one learn four different words just for one verb?!

Thank you for your interest :) if you'd like to talk, my Discord tag is valour2687.
