The whole world is moving, but I'm standing still.

About Me

Poor grad student. Other than that, I'd say that I'm realistic, serious, affectionate, observant, perfectionist, a planner, a worry-wart, and someone whose heart still beats madly when speaking in front of an audience. I have great expectations, and am prone to disappointment. I love margaritas, burgers and fries, my friends, curling up in bed with a good book, and trying to capture fleetingness on film. I have a tendancy to exaggerate, procrastinate, and jump to conclusions. I'm currently working on my personal work ethic - it could use some improvement. :)
