Shipped from the West Coast to play vball, because they're giving me money, although I'm not that tall. As a girl hailing from the West Coast, it was surely the beaches that I missed the most. Grew up near the home of Snoop D-O -(double) G, the LBC, it was the place to be. Every single day you could find me on some court, whether volley or tennis, I played both those sports. So for those who like labels, you can call me a jock, because I walk the walk, and I talk the talk, but there are some things about me that people don't seem to know so sit back, relax, and watch me flow: I'm a sucker for films, I think Pacino's legit, Godfather I and Part II, to me those films are a hit. I'm a polyglot, I like languages a lot so "hola" y "merci" to you, et "a-salaam-alaykum." I consume books, those that take me away, to other places and times, escape the everyday. Since the eighth grade obsessed with Lord of the Rings, I loved hobbits and elves, the most unusual things. Two semesters more and I will leave this place, to go back to my roots, and join the Rat Race--by 30 years old I'll be the next Ari Gould. By the 5th reunion the next Gabrielle Union. But in the meantime you'll find me posted on West, probably studying for the next poli sci test...counting down the days until I'm gonna be free, and now you know a few little things about me.
