I am temperamental. I am extremely loyal to the select few who I adore. I am a hermit by choice. I am both an idealist and a pragmatist.
I recently graduated Cum Laude from Valdosta State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. What am I going to do now? I do intend to pursue graduate studies, perhaps in the field of Clinical Neuropsychology. Applications for Fall 2009 admission are due December of this year; therefore, a decision must be made fairly soon. The last hurdle before I decide where to apply for admission is the GRE, which I plan to take in August. My goal is to break a 1200 on the GRE, and my overreaching goal is to break 1300. Stay tuned for updates.

My Interests

I'm interested in everything I never had time to be interested in while completing my degree. After I finish my thesis, that is.

I'd like to meet:

Myself ten years ago, and myself ten years from now.

Music:

I innately love any music written in either 3/4 or 6/8 time measure.
Bach, especially anything he wrote for the cello.
The Allman Brothers Band
Tupac
Otis Redding

Movies:

Bleh.

Television:

I love Star Trek.
I BitTorrent TV, it's the only way to watch.

Books:

What Are You Optimistic About? Today's Leading Thinkers on Why Things are Good and Getting Better
