About Me
What to write?? Let's see.

I'm a nineteen year old college student, double-majoring in Anthropology and Biology, with a minor in History. I'm conidering taking up a second minor in Political Science. I'm studying so I can go to graduate school, where I plan to study for two doctorates, on in forensic anthropology, and the second in human genetics.

In addition to my nerdy endeavors in school, I'm also a huge music nerd (and a singer/violinist).

I'm also a major language nerd. I technically have two first languages, English and Spanish. I'm also fluent in German. As a kid, I picked up some Italian (since over half my hometown is fluent in it), Greek (which I learned from the neighbors), and Polish (also a major language in my town, but I'm not very good). My mom and older sister are fluent in Canadian French, and I can understand them when they speak it, but I can't speak it myself. I also speak Lithuanian, Yiddish, Hebrew, and some Japanese, Finnish, and Swedish. I'm currently studying Mandarin, Swahili, and Welsh, and I'm working on improving my Greek, Polish, and French.

I'm an activist for a ton of different causes. I absolutely cannot stand those hipster-y "activists" who take on the trendy "cause of the week" and then drop it when it gets hard/boring/too "mainstream."

I'm a pagan (and I was raised in a pagan/Jewish family). My pantheon is pretty mixed, and includes deities from Hellenic (Greek), Kemetic (Egyptian), Norse, Lithuanian, Irish, and Semetic pagan paths.

When I'm not living in a dorm room at school, I live in the woods near Chicago with my (divorced, but still living together) parents, younger sister, cats, and dog (and the various woodland creatures that have adopted our family). I also have an older half-sister who I only ocassionally get to see these days since she moved to another state.

None posted so far on here, but I'm working on two.
