Well my friends believe me to be an obsessive, compulsive perfectionist. (They are so nice, really they are) I have found that nine times out of ten my personal opinion of myself is so far off base it's embarrassing so I rely on my friends to do the hard work for me.I graduated from St Joseph’s catholic college (an all girls school, thanks mum and dad!) and studied medicine for a year at Sydney Uni. before dropping it. What can I say, it was boring lol. I had the marks to get in and my parents are big believers in "achieving to your potential" which in my house was a synonym for "become a doctor and fund our retirement" aren’t parents great? I then went on to study social science majoring in sociology at Macquarie University; currently I'm at Newcastle University studying social work.I work part time as a research fellow at Newcastle Uni. Basically I help research various studies and projects that the professionals have going, I know, I know you are all thinking "what? She does research for a living?!" But it's fun! Currently I'm looking into the impact of pornography on Australian society, see now I told you it was fun I had to reassure my mum that researching didn't actually involve viewing porn, my poor mum I think I'm almost solely responsible for her gray hair...I love to dance when I get the time. Until recently I would go clubbing every weekend and dance the night (and half the morning) away. I hate tomatoes and Paris Hilton (ok maybe hate is too harsh, is severely dislike politically correct?)My aim in life is to know everything. Yeah ok so I'm ambitious! People and social tends are of great interest to me so I (for the sake of my sanity) tend to narrow my field of research to these areas. There are a few things I'm not interested in medicine is one, politics another and geography is probably the third. I can't read a map to save my life, no sense of direction at all.
