About Me

I'm Jenni.

I'm an environmentalist.

I'm a graduate of Ware County High School, '05 (woot). After high school I went to Waycross College to major in Biology. Got apathetic and transferred to Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. This is my first semester there. I'm a wildlife major. I'm a hiker, kayaker, occasional bellydancer, mandolinist (though not a good one), hooper, Pilates instructor, lover of knowledge, lover of classical music, lover of nature, and lover of Henry Deane. I try to live a simple life - I rarely go shopping. I would rather spend an hour in a forest than spend an hour in a mall. I recycle.

Unlike some girls, I don't mind doing physical labor. I'm not worried about getting dirty or chipping a nail.

I stay up late when I should go to bed. I am a certified personal trainer. I'm growing my hair out long. I love having my braces off! I miss my horses and my goats.

Me, hooping:

Jeeps, jorbs, and piercings

I want a Jeep Wrangler. I could totally see me driving a Jeep. I like my little Ford Ranger, but it's not super reliable. It was cold this morning, so when I left the house at 9 am to teach Pilates, i...

Two Poems and a Recommendation

I wanted to put two selected poems by Emily Dickinson up here for all to read, if they care. I admit, most of Emily Dickinson's stuff makes me go "what?" and read it several times over to get what the...
