Well hello there.
I’m a 20-something New Jersey-born Boston transplant by way of Hartford. I’m currently on my second career, which is a planned by-way to my third. They say the average person changes careers 7 times in their lifetime so I guess I’m right on track. I started out in PR/marketing, now I’m onto finance, then hopefully to nursing! I like a lot of different things.
For instance, I love to read. I have an eclectic music collection and like to post new mixes I make. Sometimes I watch movies. I think watch a lot of TV so it stands to reason that I talk about it a lot, too. I love crime shows and true-crime documentaries. I can do a mean Chris Hansen impression.
I’m a newsjunkie and like to comment on current events as well as what my favorite news anchors (Dan Abrams and Keith Olbermann) are up to.
I’m diabetic and on an insulin pump so I talk about a lot of health-related items, too. Like that totally awesome time when I had 10 laser surgeries, 5 on each eye, to zap away my peripheral retina. Yes, it did hurt as much as it sounds.
I love New England with all my heart. As a small child my goal in life was to live in Connecticut. I know, I was weird. But when I was 18, sure enough, the dream became a reality. Then, after 7 years in Hartford, I recently moved to Boston, another city I have grown to love. Yes, I do still get homesick for Hartford. Yes, I realize how ridiculous that sounds.
As I said, I’m on the road to nursing school, working like mad to complete my prereqs and hoping to start in May 2009.
