Hello everyone! My name is Judith Corro (a.k.a Jude) and I’m
from Panama City, Panama. I’ll give you two facts about Panama that have
nothing to do with its Canal or with Noriega: 1) It is considered to be the place where Spanish
reggae –otherwise known as “reggaeton”- started (if interested, look for “El
General” on youtube). 2) Its rum is awesome, so it deserves this number.
I’m currently in my last semester at Loyola, and will
graduate with a degree in Psychology and English Writing. No clue of what will come
after that. Probably some frustration over not finding a job that pays enough,
followed by more frustration over my parents urging me to come back to Panama.
All of this possibly intermingled with a few days of picture-taking and
concert-going. Clearly enough, I’m looking forward to see it all unravel.
Nevertheless, I’m pretty sure this class will be great, and
I hope we all get to write/create some good stuff!!
About me: I love music festivals, quirky dancing, city worn
converse, 35 mm cameras, and Hitchcock movies.
What I listened to while I wrote this:
Hey, Judith!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your poetry, so I'm really looking forward to reading your experimental fiction. I too love 35mm cameras. I have an old Chinon. Maybe we can discuss photography sometime. I would also love to explore Panama someday, so maybe you could give me some suggestions. The blog looks great!

Hey, Christie
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely go to Panama!! Never during its rainy season though. New Orlean's July reminds me too much of Panama in September.
I used to own a Nikon F2 but it got lost a while ago. I'm thinking about getting a Minolta though.
