I am here for Friends

About Me

perpetual student... well, first of all, i am indebted to my friends. they keep me in check, make sure that i have eaten, and always support me in whatever hair-brained scheme that i have at the time. (some were skeptical, but all supported my decision to go back to school).i am a SENIOR at MTSU!!! i absolutely love school, and am incredibly lucky to be at a place with such awesome teachers! they-who-shall-remain-nameless are truly the salt of the earth...my family is terribly important to me, and i talk to my grandma every day!!! she is my rock... she lets me know that with alittle ambition and faith, all things are possible. she keeps me humble and grounded... best grandma ever!!! my mom still calls me every tues & thurs to make sure i get up for school (i know i am lame... but hey... at least i make it to historical archaeology!!!) my mom is the sweetest, funniest lady ever... it is awesome that she truly knows me... no obligatory mother/daughter rituals here!!! and my brother and his wife had a little girl!!! crazy... my little brother is a dad... wow...i am doin my premed internship at the burn center. words cannot verbalize how that place has changed me... nurses are the backbone of the unit. and the patients teach me more than i could ever learn from them. that place has changed me... shifted me... into such strange directions that i had no idea i could ever endeavor. i have made such wonderful friendships with the staff, and they have totally taken me under their wing...i didnt know what teamwork was until i started there.my other job is still at midtown in nashvegas... fine dining is the only way to go!!! i have been there for five years, off and on. they are so flexible with my schedule. couldnt do school any other way. way grateful for that job. we are one big dysfunctional family, and we all know too much about each other...all in all, i am a strange little girl that is just tryin to figure out this crazy, sometimes uncaring world. i have been blessed with so many things and people in my life, i am sooooo lucky to be me, is all. look forward to the road ahead... however bumpy it may be... i am ready!!!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

wow...where to start!?! here are top ten right now- 1. my dad :( 2. zora neale hurston 3. Olympe de Gouge 4. st. jean 5. sylvia plath 6. socrates 7. beethoven 8. victor hugo... read unabridged les mis... way worth it 9. paulette sutton 10.kate chopin * Clyde Snow was number two on my list, however...recently I was able to go to one of his rare lectures and was able meet and talk politics with him!!! because of Dr. Snow, some 34 countries have been able to charge their own governments with crimes against their people. he has dedicated his life to the identification of men, women, and children whose countries simply made them "disappear." he has been one of my heroes, and a reason that i work so diligently in school everyday. one day, i pray that i can positively impact the world and its inhabitants with such a fantastic force and tenacity that, even into his 80's, Dr. Snow continues to do.
