Oh my
goodness! Where do I start? Traveling these lands make me
wonder if I'm even a human. However, the polls are in.
Verdict: Homo Sapien.
But I
digress...
I am but a 20 year old lass with 2 1/2 years of college under my
belt. I love any outdoor activity - hiking, climbing trees,
jumping in puddles, sledding, snowball fights...
The ol' home place ranges from Wisconsin to Wyoming - in my opinion,
two of the best W's. I go to school at Northland College, a small
environmental school in the northwoods of Ashland, WI and on the south
shore of Lake Superior. It's a basecamp for me between southern
Wisconsin family and western Wyoming fam. These people (family
and friends) that are scattered about the country are some of the
biggest influences in my life.
A Short Discourse that Could Occur (and has on many occasions) Between Myself and Any Other Human Being:
"What do you want to
be when you grow up, young lady?"
I'm a Sociology/Anthropology major...
"What does that mean??"
In a broad sense, I
study human interaction and cultures, and the effects of that
interaction.
"And how do you expect to use that?"
I believe I have
already started. It took me a long time to realize what my passions
were, but this trip has only eternalized them: Culture.
Diversity. Intercultural Communication. Where ever that
takes me is the direction I need to head. I'd love to meet all of
you (if I haven't already) and hope to at some point in our
existence. But in the mean time...
