About Me

..
Well...where to start. I'm a student at the University of Kentucky, where I'm majoring in Biology. I love science and can't imagine doing anything else. I just started working in a lab doing research, and I'm pumped about being a lab rat. I plan on attending Pharmacy school in 2008, but for now I'm still an undergraduate. I love being a student because it keeps me from having to be a grownup for a while longer. Besides school, I'm getting married to an awesome guy in a little over a year, which is exciting but scary at the same time. I have three great loves...family, music and animals, and I don't get to enjoy any of them often enough. I love anything silly. I watch Spongebob Squarepants and know the words to all the songs. I love music as much as I love science. My iPod is truly the item that I could not go without...I take it everywhere. And let's not forget that I have some of the most wonderful friends that anyone could ever ask for. They're fun, caring, supportive, and crazy...all the things that good friends should be. I LOVE to travel. My friends and family live all over the country in exciting places, yet I don't get to visit any of them right now because school takes up so much of my time. My goal is to have visited every continent (except Antarctica) by the time I'm 50.
Things I want to do by the time I'm thirty:
1. Quit smoking. It's a nasty habit.
2. Finish school...well, at least undergrad.
3. Get married (coming summer '09).
4. Go to a country outside the U.S. and Europe.
Hey, it may not seem like much, but I only have a little less than 2 years to do it!
My Current Favorites:
Quote:"Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift...that's why it's called the present."
-Eleanor Roosevelt
Music: I'm not picky. I'm a little tired of my music at the moment.
Books: Lame Deer: Seeker of Visions
Movies: Just saw Kung Fu Panda....hilarious!
Hobbies: I've been working on my photography.

You Are: 80% Dog, 20% Cat
You and dogs definitely have a lot in common.
You're both goofy, happy, and content with the small things in life.

You are precise, scientific, and intellectual.
Your talents lie in understanding and solving math and science problems.

You would make an excellent:

The worst career options for your are enterprising careers, like lawyer or real estate agent. What's Your Ideal Career?
Your Quirk Factor: 55%
You're a pretty quirky person, but you're just normal enough to hide it.
Congratulations - you've fooled other people into thinking you're just like them! How Quirky Are You?
You Are 68% Open Minded
You are a very open minded person, but you're also well grounded.
Tolerant and flexible, you appreciate most lifestyles and viewpoints.
But you also know where you stand firm, and you can draw that line.

I'd like to meet:

Which Golden Girl are You?
You are the sweetest and the most innocent of the group. This also means that you are most likely very nave (which is part of your charm! n_n). You may put to much trust in others and put to much effort into getting them to approve of you and that might cause a problem later on. All in all, you are as down to earth as they get. A real Mother Nature -type.

So sad...

My heart hurts for the people of Virginia Tech and their families. I'm so tired of senseless violence and hatred. I wish I could make it stop.
