Hi, I'm Angela! I'm in my final semester of the Special Education program at UW-Madison, and I'm also a math tutor for 6th-12th graders! When I'm not working with middle and high school students, my heart belongs to my hometown Bucks (even though they're god-awful)! You'll often find me taking nature walks on the lakeshore path, playing Scrabble/Words with Friends, and spending time with friends. Additionally, I have a soft spot for Netflix and old-school Super Nintendo games!

All-in-all, I'm a kind, sweet, and caring person who fulfills the testament that "good things come in small packages!"

I had two invasive brain surgeries on November 26 and 30 to remove a seizure-inducing tumor. Although the tumor, itself, was only the size of a grape, due to scarring and dead brain matter, I'm now missing a "large tangerine-size" of my brain. It was found to be cancerous two days before Christmas, but my tumor has recently been downgraded to an extremely low-grade cancer that does not require chemo/radiation! I haven't had a seizure since December 11, and my driving privileges have been reinstated! I've never had such clarity, alertness, and energy in my life! A door has truly opened for me, and I'm incandescently happy, with a drive and determination that I've never experienced! I'm officially graduating from the UW in May! :)

Working with (OLDER) kids, cheering on my Bucks, Scrabble, procrastinating, screwing up when working with any type of technology...and being cute! ;)

My smile. And, yes...I know I'm short! Why must you remind me?

Food: Mexican, Italian (As long it doesn't come from a cow or it's not gelatinous, it's all good!) Also, I do have a particular weakness for the occasional slice of carrot cake. ...Especially if it's a corner piece:) Ian's Mac 'n Cheese pizza isn't half-bad, either. Good food and drink at the Old Fashioned, followed by karaoke, is also something I can't say no to! Crop Circle Wheat and cheese curds at the Great Dane? Mmmm:D

Family (including Charles, the golden retriever)/Friends
Bucks basketball (Fear the Deer, baby!)
Watching "Dexter"

Lazy days
Life, love, and happiness:)

Getting back to the UW in January, finishing my last semester, and getting that so-called "real" job!

Eating and drinking a boat-load of calories! ;)

I find cemeteries fascinating!

Umm...I still listen to the Backstreet Boys?!

I'm a strong believer in astral projection and reincarnation.

I am positively HORRENDOUS at orienting myself in space. Using the language of "north," "south," "east," and "west" has never been my forte.

...I have to shop in the girls' department for my size-3 feet!

And, sometimes I talk to myself...... lol:)

1. You seek reprieve from the "stuck-up bitch" type.

2. You actually want a response back. I make my best effort to respond to everybody, but since I tend to get a high volume of messages and I'm currently working my tail off during the week, it may take some time!

3. You just feel like it! :)
