About Me

I'm the perfect example of my generation: college education and still have no idea what I want to do with my life. I've worked as a swim instructor, juice maker, wardrobe consultant, nanny, journalist and now a freelance writer going back to school for my M.A. We'll see how that works out...

Also, I have a couple of blogs you might want to check out. The first is a book review blog and the other one is all about training to run a marathon . Awesome, yes? Yes.

I'm training for a half marathon. You can check out my progress here:

Lack of Internal Compass
