Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

Here goes the brief summary of me: On first impression, I am a bit serious and reserved however as you get to know me you'll pick up on my ready wit and propensity to break out in laughter, my being quite often merry and a touch mischievous. I'm also a pretty straightforward person, what you see is what you get and I like to deal politely and respectfully with others whether we're a match or not.

Looking forward to Fall 2009 when I'll finally be done with my degree and better able to put the knowledge to good use. It's been a long road and hopefully the future will be full of good opportunities. In the midst of school and work, I try to sneak in some enjoyment of the many things I love and the people I care about. I lean towards the arts i.e. ballet, opera, theatre, museums, etc. I'm a voracious reader, I always have some book tucked into a nook somewhere ready to read at a moment's notice. I like to see new places, explore cultures different from my own, I think the insights you gain really enrich your life.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Working on my degree in clinical health psychology. Planning to work as a psychologist helping people cope with chronic illness and other medical/health concerns. It's really satisfying work when you can help someone see things in a different light which can be a turning point in a whole life. That's the academic side, on the fun side, I like to dance so I like to take classes when I can; I've been doing belly dance for a while now but I'd like to branch out into flamenco, ballet and latin dance as well (all in good time). Also, I'd like to try my hand at some cooking classes, maybe learn a bit about wines, who knows what will catch my fancy next!
