About Me
This site tends to focus more on my academic and professional accomplishments, so I wanted to make sure to give a little more personal information about who I am.
-
I love to read in my spare time. I know that everyone puts this in their "about me" sections but my bibliophilia is an important part of who I am.
-
I love being outside unless it is above 87 degrees, the humidity is above 65%, the sun is directly overhead and will burn me (in the summer I usually stay a shade of red. I'm not burned, per se, just red all the time), or the mosquitos are out. Anything else, literally, I am fine with. Storms, of course. Rain, love it. Snow, I can deal with it. Locations are even negotiable for me. Forest, adore it. Ocean, can't get enough of it. Desert, dry but some cool plants. I can go on.
-
I love Instagram. That's all. (cro7777)
-
I have a lot of interests when it comes to academia. I should have done a lot of things and gotten a lot of different degrees, according to what I like. Currently, my list includes archaeology, geology, meterology, paleontology, Spanish language, astronomy and cosmology, French Language, Korean Langauge, philosophy, poetry crafting, and physics.
-
I always want to learn more about where I came from. I have successfully traced parts of my family tree back hundreds of years. So far, I have lines existing in Kentucky and stretching back to North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Maryland, New Jersey, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Ireland, France, England, and a possible line into the Cherokee nation.
-
I have a large extended family. I have one younger sister (who I am in contact with quite often) and two nieces, countless cousins and second cousins, aunts, and uncles. All are based in Kentucky or southern Indiana.
Very Random Facts:
