Growing up is overrated.....

About Me

Hmmm....about me. Well, apparently I'm supposed to be a grown-up by now, although that hasn't really taken as well as it should have. It's been almost nine years since high school graduation in CT. Since then I've been in college in Indiana, grad school in Virginia, in South Carolina for three years, in coastal Georgia for one horrible year, and, finally, back to Connecticut, someplace I never thought I would want to return to. But, here I am, and things have been pretty good so far. My wonderful boyfriend Trevor moved up here with me, and away from his beloved Florida Gators. I am definitely a lucky, lucky girl! I was working as an athletic trainer for the past five years, but I got sick of the hours and the pay. Therefore, I will returning, once again, to school next summer to become a physician's assistant. Yale School of Medicine Class of 2009, here I come! I'm really not trying to break the record for the number of degrees obtained before the age of thirty, I swear! Other than that, I'm into sports, mostly college football and basketball. I love running and working out, reading, funny movies, and being outside. Oh, and of course spending time with the love of my life and our pets. I hate self-righteous, intolerant, ignorant people, and love a good argument sometimes. I also love my friends, and like nothing better than spending time with them doing nothing but laughing. I like to take my chances and explore new places. There is definitely some more moving around in me before settling down in one place!
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!

My Interests

Sports - especially college football and basketball; hiking/camping and being outside; Running and working out at the gym (perhaps bordering on obsession instead of interest...); laughing at whatever, whenever; traveling...I never have money to go anywhere, but I've got a world tour mapped out if I ever win the lotto!; anything that gets my adrenaline going - skydiving, roller coasters, etc.; baking; trying new things

I'd like to meet:

The people at the student loan company so I can kick them in the ass for loaning me all that money; George W. so I can do the same; Jim Henson - genius; oh and definitely Ben and Jerry
