About

Things I love:
Vanilla ice cream, swimming, my dog (sarah), holding my breath through tunnels, rainy days, eat my food scalding hot, studying at starbucks, speed scrabble, watered down orange juice, laughing, nerdiness, listen to waves crash, sleeping under my favorite blanket

Things I find challenging:
sharks, amoeba, low tide, sharks, oysters, lobsters, anything with the eyes still attached, sharks, fishing, paying for parking, grumpy grouchy mean and impatient people, tailgating, chocolate, traffic, sharks
Things I think are important:
Giving blood, excersizing regularly, drinking lots of water, sleeping, eating breakfast
