School and Work

It's amazing how stressful your last year of your undergraduate degree really is, especially when you work 30  or more hours every week. May I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Biology it was an amazing day that at certain points in my life I truly believed was never going to happen. It is a scary change, I am now a college graduate. I must go out and prove my worth to the world yet again to proceed on the next step in my life. I am excited and terrified of the changes that are occurring in my life. No I have not forgotten my blog I just had little energy for it this last year. I plan to spend more time with this blog now that I am only working.

Why I Am A Nerd

I love that I am a nerd girl at heart and it's not something I hide in the least. This blog is just one of the ways I broadcast it. I love gaming, and to me it does not matter whether it is tabletop or video-games  My Mom can be attributed with fostering my inner geekiness, she is the one who read the hobbit and The Lord of the Rings to my sisters and I when I was six.
She was also the one who played board games and card games with us. The other thing that created the nerd that I am is the group of kids my sister's spent our formative years with. Mom was a single parent working very hard to raise three girls who were within three years of each other in age. We went to daycare, at first a stepping stones and than one that was attached to school we attended.
At that daycare we played Nintendo  magic, and dungeons and dragons. We also learned to bead and play tackle football, they are the reason that to this day some of my favorite films are Princess Bride, Men In Tights, Space Balls, and Weird Al is one of my favorite artists. I am grateful to them for helping create who I am.
