About Me

I'm a senior triple major(political science, Spanish, international studies) at UNL. I love animals; I have 3 dogs, a bearded dragon, a leopard gecko, a guinea pig, and 3 mice. I've studied abroad to Costa Rica as well as traveled to Spain, England, France, Panama, and Mexico. I love other cultures and languages, especially Spanish, si hablas espanol, escribame! God also plays a very significant role in my life, so if you want me to pray for you, let me know :). and pray for me too, just in general, because I need a lot of help haha!Rest in peace Vinny. October 8, 2006. You died far too young, and you will be missed dearly.

My Interests

animals, God, dancing, other cultures, traveling, my friends(you guys rock!), politics(international especially, but also domestic), other languages, food(pasta and desserts), the environment, my family 3, carebears(i know it's old school but they are still cool and really cute), body piercings(yes i have some, and no, not in any naughty places), tattoos(just got my first!), movies(romantic comedies the most because I'm a sap, but my favorites are Lord of the Ring trilogy and Braveheart) and laughing in any possible way, which i truly believe is medicine for your soul.

I'd like to meet:



adopt your own virtual pet!

Music:

i love almost all kinds of music. yes i do like country and yes i do like rap. my favorite is R n B. i also like a lot of older rock like aerosmith, led zepplin, acdc, etc. however, i abhor new heavy metal.

Heroes:

my mother, my grandmother, at many times my roommate Amy, and professor McMahon, she's a poli sci teacher at UNL, if you can, take her class. She'll make you work very hard, but you will be enlightened like you have never been before.

Life decision.
