About Me

Living in Japan...finally! I am living in Iwakuni, Japan for the next year! I am really busy with work and adjusting to my life here. I am also still working on my Masters in Special Education and will student teach when I come home and be done with school for a while (riiight) :). I miss you all and wish I had more time to be in contact with you. Email or message me...I would love to hear from you! In order to keep everyone up to date I am keeping a blog and check out my photo album of my adventures: http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l166/maliaw8/ girls layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com

My Interests

I often feel like my only interests are work and school. But, I also enjoy shopping, random trips to anywhere (specifically in Japan), learning about anything and everything (there is not enough time to learn everything I want to learn), the outdoors, traveling, cleaning (no kidding, you know you like it too), making plans, anything to do with water, and simply relaxing on a cold, rainy day. I'm up for anything (most of the time).

I'd like to meet:

I'll listen to anything, as long as it does not give me a headache!

Movies:

Remember the Titans, Radio, The American President, The Notebook....Hmmm football and chick flicks ;)

Plans...

I like plans. I think we all know that. BUt I'm beginning to think plans only give us temporary relief, they help us to escape from reality. I am continually devising plans, plans that are only bro...
