About Me

Facebook is better. Check it aus: http://oregon.facebook.com/profile.php?id=11520175&src=f ftb&pwstdfy=b2970e460beef273e29d629733dfe107I am Kevin Shump. I'm living in Tualatin with the parents this summer, but once school begins again, I'll be living back in the Euge for the school year at the very least. I will be a full time student at University of Oregon come September. My major is currently physics, but I am starting to look at geography and environmental science. I work at the Puma outlet store in Woodburn. I am currently looking at an abroad program that would land me in Berlin for the summer of 2008, and in Munich for Oktoberfest 2008.
