Round Two

Okay, I'm back at Diedrich's to study some more for this stupid test. I've been here for a little while and for some strange reason I have this need to release a little more information about me. It's like an obsession now.

Some more things about me (unnumbered this time since I don't want them ranked)

- I have always lived with someone for the past 31 years of my life. I just realized eight months ago, that I have never lived by myself. I have lived with my family, girlfriends, or roommates. And you know what? I love living by myself. I thoroughly enjoy the silence now. At first, the silence would kill me. I couldn't stand for my place to be quiet, so I would leave the TV on or the radio playing ALL THE TIME.

- I am of Hispanic heritage, but I don't know Spanish. I took Spanish classes for four years during High School and was pretty proficient at the time, but now not so much. In fact, pretty much not at all. I can understand some, but I can not speak the language at all. I am actually starting to be more ashamed of this fact. I don't want my daughter to grow up without learning a second language. It's not completely my fault though. I lived in a predominately black neighborhood and went to a predominately white church. So I was never around enough Hispanics to encourage me to learn. In the end though, it is my fault because I knew a great deal of Spanish but did not retain it.

- I love to sing, but I have a terrible singing voice. Can you believe that I have never taken a singing lesson in my life? Those who have heard me sing can believe it.

- I consider myself smart, but it took me eight years to get a bachelor's degree. I went to three different universities, had four different majors, and one higher education degree. I think subconsciously, this is part of my fear for getting my masters. If it took me eight years to get a bachelor's degree, how freaking long will it take for me to get a masters?

- I am a left-brain thinker, but I try every day to improve my right-brain side. My ultimate goal is to be a whole brain thinker.

- I like to people watch, but ironically I get nervous when other people watch me.

- I love caffeine (a whole lot) and not imagine a world without coffee, Dr. Pepper, or energy drinks.

Okay, so here is some more information about me. I think this is really more for my reference a year from now. That way I can compare who I am as an individual a year from now.
