About me

Gender Female
Occupation Grad Student Extraordinnaire - Ph.D. Candidate in Behavioral Sciences!
Location South Carolina
Introduction Currently in graduate school for the long haul... getting my degree in Industrial-Organizational Psychology. I live with the little love of my life - my dog! I LOVE sports - the Atlanta Braves, college football, the Dallas Cowboys, Liverpool and Steven Gerrard, and the Houston Astros are my favorites. I've played almost every sport at some point, but now I have to stick to the beloved elliptical machine. A lot of my friends demand that I audition for the "Real World" though my life is much more similar to a PBS version of the show. I can pretty much always laugh at myself and I'm constantly laughing...
