About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To survive law school and not starve while living in London. Oh, and to get a damn EU passport so I never have to worry about dumb visas again. That one may take awhile....

ABOUT ME

Raised in San Diego. I moved to Switzerland for college in August 2006 and graduated in May 2008 with a B.A in History and Literature.

Currently living in London and LOVING it as it is my favourite city. I go to law school and work in a bar and try to sleep in my increasingly small free time.

I am a short, little, fiesty brunette (well, now blonde) who my friends say you can't explain, you just have to experience. (I have been told this is a good thing) I love to read, hence the History and Literature major. I am told that I am intelligent and well spoken and that I am a good cook. I have a very dry sense of humour and sarcasm comes naturally. I am a talkative person, but I know when to shut up. I am a good listener and good at helping other people with their problems, yet when it comes to mine I am a mess haha.

I love food, I love people. I am a social creature but I need my space from time to time. I am cleanly and polite and appreciate people who are the same.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything happens for a reason, so you can't regret anything. If you want something badly enough, you can make it happen. Oh, and manners never hurt anybody. Don't chew with your mouth full.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love everything from chick flicks to Disney to action to science fiction..

Same with music, I love everything. Although I am not too fond of old twangy country. Currently I am loving the Kooks, Paolo Nutini, and Arctic Monkeys.

Books are awesome!! Harry Potter is fantastic. My two favorite books are Pride and Prejudice and Gone with the Wind. Trashy historical romance novels are my guilty pleasure. I do a lot of reading and have read a lot in my short life due to my major.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling to Africa. Spending 16 days in the bush changed my life in ways I cannot even explain. I came back a different person. It was so awesome that I did it again 4 months later.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a fountain of random and useless information. Tell me what you want to learn and I will do my best to help.
