I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a full time nursing student in the Bay Area and I am graduating in early August of this year. I really enjoy the field I'm studying even if it means not sleeping and spending most of my day with my head in a book. I would LOVE to specialize in pediatrics, but eventually, I'd like to pursue a Master's degree in anesthesiology and become a CRNA.

I have the best family, friends, and boyfriend in the world. I'm lucky because my boyfriend, Nick, is also my very best friend of 6 years. I can't say I haven't had my share of trials in life, but the people that have been there for me through it all are who keep me going.

My Interests

I LOVE: Tennis, gym, Tetris, Tetris Attack, Dr. Mario, Land Rover Range Rovers, Toyota Tacomas, Sudoku puzzles, my video iPod, Phase 10, Texas Hold 'em (the next Annie Duke), Sephora, Dooney & Bourke, Coach, Uggs, Forever 21, H&M, Ikea, English Bulldogs, Los Angeles Lakers, live concerts, Jamba Juice, Strawberry Fruit Roll Ups, Gatorade, and Splash clam chowder. I DON'T LIKE: bad spelling (especially when people don't know the difference between there, their, and they're!), nail-biting, Roxy anything, ragaeton, drama queens, traffic, cats, and Vienna sausages. Pet Peeve: hair on the bathroom floor and when there are no hooks for my purse in public bathroom stalls.

I'd like to meet:

I get in these moods once in a while, and only those who know me well would say more often than once in a while.  But it's days like this, Sunday afternoons, that I miss my Grandma Betty so much....
