About Me

I’m a fourth year physics / geophysics student at Oregon State University in Corvallis, OR, focusing on neutron activation analysis for a thesis project. I’ve finally started my research and thesis, so I’m glad I can get that going.  I’m also involved in Phi Sigma Rho, which is a social sorority for engineers (and scientists). Before you ask, no, we don’t just study and talk about math all day. We party, drink, go out, carouse, and watch sports together just like any other sorority. Some chapters have a house – we don’t because we’re so small. I love my sisters

I was born and raised in California, with some stints in England for school and life. As much as I try to deny it, I am such a California girl it borders on ludicrous. I always complain about going home and hating it, but once I’m there, I love to sit in the sun, see my neighbours and friends, and spend time with my family. The shopping doesn’t hurt, either!

Recently, I had a relapse for my non-hodgkins lymphoma (there’s a longer name, but I never remember it).  Chemo started the week before school did, so I’ll update about how that is going. I was starting to enjoy my hair – it’s too bad it may fall out again. They’re shying away from CHOP this time and trying some other drugs, but they may go back to the old standbys if they worked before. I’m not looking forward to the next year or so. F you, cancer.

So, this blog is an amalgam of different thoughts and opinions. It’s not as well put together as other blogs I’ve read, but it’s not completely atrocious. Please take this with a grain of salt. I’m not perfect, and I tend to ruffle feathers sometimes. Usually it’s just in jest, but again, please don’t be overly offended Thanks for taking the time out of your day to read! *thumbs up*
