Leanin' to the side, but you can't speed through, 2 miles an hour, so everybody sees you.

About Me

Grad student in DC. Glad to be back in school after a few years as a paralegal and to remember what it's like to use my brain on a daily basis. Spent the summer teaching English in Ecuador, and it was amazing. I apologize in advance if I talk about it, a lot.I love living in DC, there's a buzz and energy about this city that I really thrive on, and although I love Philly, I notice this energy's absence any time I go visit. Then I have a cheesesteak and everything is wonderful again.I was recently asked what my vices are, and I drew a blank. This troubled me, so I am now open to the development of fulfilling vices. Please send me any and all suggestions, as well as relevant experiences and/or advice. I thank you for your consideration!
