Third year medical student at UMass Med. I grew up in small, rural town in Western Massachusetts, but I live in Worcester now (it took me a while to come to terms with this.) I love traveling and I've spent a lot of time living in Central America, where I eventually learned to speak Spanish after many awkward mistranslations. I'm a bit of an adrenaline junky; I'm currently working on getting my skydiving license. I would describe myself as a huge nerd who also likes sports. I love making jokes and sometimes people laugh.

Med school takes up a lot of my life, but I still manage to poorly prioritize my time to include brewing beer, running, skiing, swimming, reading and more than the occasional movie. I'm easily bored with routines, so I try to take unplanned adventures as much as possible.

Guessing which drawer people keep their silverware in when I'm in a new house; it's often not as intuitive as you might think.

As many people have astutely pointed out, this isn't an entirely fair question as I'm not the one doing the noticing. However, if I had to guess what people first say when they notice me, I'd have to assume it goes something like this:
"Who's that guy eating all the plastic fruit? It looks like he ate the first one by mistake but now he thinks he has to eat the rest our he'll look foolish. You have to admire the commitment if nothing else."

Books: Catch-22, Brave New World, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Cutting for Stone, Slaughterhouse Five, The House of God, Legacy of Ashes
Movies: American History X, Memento, Gladiator, Gangs of New York, Ink, Fight Club, The Shawshank Redemption, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Lincoln, Office Space
Shows: Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, Arrested Development (this one's kind of a deal-breaker)
Music: I enjoy almost all types of music under the right circumstances. I'm also a firm believer that everything sounds better when you're singing along with the car windows down.
Food: I'm really not picky. I love cooking though.

Something to read
Lacking any of the first five, I suppose an infinite roll of bubble wrap could keep me happy.

How earphones tossed into a backpack somehow manage to entangle themselves more thoroughly than I could have ever done intentionally.

Out with people who agreed to be my friends before they fully knew me, but it's too late for them to take back that decision now. We have a good time.

I once went to Chipotle twice during the same employee's shift. It was uncomfortable for everyone involved.
