I'm sitting across from Caitlin Cobau, on this lovely Wednesday morning, and I pointed out the rainbow behind her. She turned around in her seat, looked out the window and called me a liar.
Exhibit A on how I'm not a liar:
I then called her blind. As you can see, she most definitely is blind. (Not really, but I mean, that's a pretty obvious rainbow).
Now, don't let these event's structure your opinion on this wonderful human, being semi-blind isn't something you should hold against Caitlin. She is one of the only people here in Cork who I've found I enjoy spending large portions of time with. However, that might be because I met Caitlin about a year ago. We took a writing class together last spring, and we also found out we would be going to Cork together! It was nice to know someone who would also be traveling across the country with me.
Now we've grown used to coming together every Wednesday afternoon to do travel writing. We sit across from each other and talk about what we're struggling to write about and Caitlin plays country music. Which is shocking, because I don't know a lot of people who enjoy country music so that's typically the music we jam too.
Caitlin has dark dark blond hair, and even then she will tell you you're wrong. She insists it's brown. And since I'm tired of proving her wrong with pictures, you'll just have to take my word for it. She has beautiful light blue eyes, and a happy smile that makes you smile right back. Even when half the time she's just calling me weird.
Caitlin loves taking photographs. I turn around. She's taking a picture for Snapchat. I look up, she's trying to capture the rainbow she can't 'see' for Instagram. Which is her social media platform of choice. Caitlin has a large love for Instagram. I am constantly trying to avoid being in any of these photo's, but it's hard to do with a friend like Caitlin. I take heart in knowing this trip will be properly documented though.
Caitlin is also obsessed with doing laundry. In fact, she just came back from doing laundry as I write this. Her reason for doing so much laundry though is "She didn't pack enough stuff, so she needs to clean it often." Which makes some sense, but laundry costs so much here that in reality it makes more sense to buy clothes. So Caitlin, just get another pair of jeans.

Stephanie, Good description of Caitlin. Good details that help the audience to better "see" Caitlin. But also very good job of describing aspects of Caitlin's personality. Also, good job of incorporating the pic to help illustrate your true events!
