I've added substance to my profile!!

About Me

Spent an academic year in Sevilla, Spain--while traveling through Portugal, France, The Netherlands, Morocco (Africa), and Argentina and Uruguay in South America. Fantastic time--so if we haven't talked recently, call and I'll tell you about it.I'm looking for permanent work in either Buenos Aires (AR), Madrid, or Amsterdam. (Or maybe I'll just move in with Mama, jk).I'll be graduating from the University of Chicago in June, 06 with Political Science and Spanish--planning on either continuing corporate consulting, or moving on to something new and exciting in Argentina/Latin America.Not married. No plans in next 5-10 years :)Lastly, I'm a neo-liberalist with neo-realist tendencies, and believe in the power of the individual. I've found constructivist ideals to be appealing, but not very useful in my life--I'm also confused.In terms of personal ideologies and belief systems, I see value in CONTINUAL and NONSTOP EDUCATION. By this, I mean that while I may retain some specific precepts or standards from my parents' generation, I understand that it is impossible to acquire the world's knowledge/wealth of experience in one lifetime. SO, I don't plan on understanding the universal system in one stride, but I do my best at picking up where our previous thinkers have left off.Plus, I love Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
