jill of all tirades

When I started this blog, this section was the one that gave me the most stress.  How can I describe myself to other people in such a way that they observe a accurate self portrait?  I finally decided that no matter what I wrote, the people who read this would not get an accurate idea of me anyways.  Did I mention that I am a pessimist?  ::grin::

The main activity that compromises my identity currently is that I am a graduate student.  I spend most of my time in the lab or in class.  Other than that defining trait, I am married to a wonderful man, I am an avid reader, and I love cats.  That pretty much sums me up.  The rest is details.

Here are a few to whet your appetite:

• I HATE mayo (and I consider Miracle Whip mayo)
• I still love jumping in puddles after a rainstorm
• I do not like babies or children untill they can hold a civilized conversation with you
• Furthermore, adults that talk babytalk to other adults should be shot on sight
• I like different colors of pens and have to use at least 2 colors to take notes in class (preferably 5 colors)
• RENT is my favorite musical, with Sweeny Todd as a close second
• I want to work in a BSL4 lab
• I believe that White SUVs are the chariot of the devil and they are out to get me
• I am an achievements whore and proud of it

I am currently working on finishing up my Master’s degrees, aka. studying my ::cough:: off.  Or at least I should be when I am not reading a book that I can’t put down or playing a video game.  At the same time I am looking for a job in biotech.  What a wonderful time to graduate and start a career, huh?
