Over the past few months, I realized that I had fallen into a rut. I had a job where my nearly 12 hour days and bizarre weekend schedule greatly restricted my social life. I am now taking on a new dream job, and I'm looking to revitalize my social life.
I am a self proclaimed math nerd, and I love corny jokes about math. I spend my days trying to pass on even the tiniest bit of this love of math to teenagers at a local high school. Remember where you were when you were 15? Sometimes it is like nailing jello to a tree, but I truly love what I am doing. You have no idea how fulfilling it is to make a difference in a kid's life, even if it isn't within the classroom.
I have a quirky sense of humor, and an often sarcastic tongue. I will just as soon get into a good natured battle of wits with my friends as I will sit and chat, but my closest friends would say I am loyal and loving. I will do anything for my friends, and they know that I am always around to vent to, even if it is only via text!
I love to bake, though I never seem to have enough time for it, and would love to learn how to cook just as well. I can be found every Christmas season baking up a storm, even though every year I say it is the last, because I love the smile people get when they taste the things I have made.
I love life, and the journey that it brings me on. That sounds ridiculously corny, but it is true. I am a generally positive person, and have earned the nickname "smiley" at a number of times in my life (including at my current job). I am extremely diverse in the things that interest me. I am just as happy spending a night home watching tv or curled up with a good book, as I am cheering on my favorite teams at a sporting event. I will support my teams until the end, even though they drive me crazy at times, and although I am often at odds with family and friends....
It occurs to me that this is harder than writing assignment that I had to do in school. And that I am far more complex than can be put forward in something that most people probably won't even read past the first few sentences. I am ok with that....
