Me, in general.

For those of you who have read this section before, I am updating it; my previous entry was almost a year old. To make things easier, I will simply list 10 general things you might want to know about me. These tid-bits might supplement what I write in my blog.

1. Let’s start simple. I am attending a 4-year University on the coast of Virginia. Currently, I am a senior majoring in Environmental Science (basically Biology with a concentration in Environmental Studies) and minoring in Chemistry.

2. I was almost an English major. But I hike more than I read.

3. I have two best friends, dubbed Cher and Lafonda on this blog. We share an apartment at the present and live together quite wonderfully.

4. In my younger years, I was a competitive equestrian.

5. I only have half of my thyroid on account of having a benign tumor on the right side, calling for the removal of said half.

6. I become incredibly irritable when I am either cold or hungry. When experiencing both simultaneously, one might say I am volatile. 🙂

7. I spent three weeks in China the summer after my sophomore year for a study abroad program. While there, I narrowly escaped a risque karaoke bar, hiked a portion of the Great Wall, and ate a scorpion.

8. I have never broken any bones, sprained any joints, or had stitches. However, after my thyroid surgery, my neck was stapled shut. I was Frankenstein!!!

9. I strongly believe in Southern hospitality and Southern values.

10. Currently, I am applying to graduate school for a masters or Ph.D. in Entomology and Plant-Insect interactions and will graduate with my B.S. this May.

And there you have it! Me in a nut-shell! Ya’ll come back now, ya hear?!
