Me

I am...

...a student.

I'm a sophomore at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, and my major is Genetics and Cell Development.  I want to be a doctor someday.  Maybe pediatrics, maybe oncology, maybe internal medicine, maybe family medicine, maybe.. anything.  I also really like neuroscience lately.. and psychology.. and literature (mostly poetry).. and philosophy..


...a runner.

I've been pledging to run a marathon every year for the past five or so.  Maybe this will be my year!  Anyways, I love to run.


...vegan.

I'd like to be better at this.  Right now I pretty much eat vegan 99.9% of the time, but veganism is positively a lifestyle.  And I'm not quite there.  Apparently most red wine is not vegan due to the filtration through animal carcasses.  Gross!


...a granola cruncher.

I am pro-life, anti-death penalty, pro-gay rights, pro-healthcare reform, anti-war, pro-environment, anti-animal testing for cosmetic reasons, pro-euthanasia, pro-separation of church and state...


...an artist.

Okay, not really.  I like to paint and draw and write, but all of my products are very pitiful and really just for me.  But I am very opinionated about art (fine art, music, fashion, movies, ..)


...a gardener.

I'm not fantastic at this, but I try.  I have two Dracaena fragrans named Byron and Luella, an orchid named Sally, a fern named Esther Greenwood, and a Cyclamen named Eleanor of Aquitaine.


...depressing.

Not that I'm depressed, but don't expect to be inspired by my blog.  I am rather obsessed with depressing things.  And I talk about it a lot.
