Student at PSU to getting a second degree in Geology (my first one was Economics from Oregon State). I also volunteer with SMART helping to organize a reading program at an elementary school. Besides that I like hanging out with friends, working out, cooking, gardening, chillin' with my roommates cats, and learning stuff (I especially like thekhanacademy.org and coursera.org).

1)Listening
2)Being funny but not telling puns or short jokes
3)Being awesome with kids like my nieces and nephews or the kids while volunteering
4)cooking (I just got "The 4 Hour Chef")
5)giving tourists directions
6)teaching myself different sports
7)hanging out with my roommate's cats while I am on my laptop
