Here it is :)
I am a recent graduate of Anderson University, where I received a major in English and a minor in Music Performance. After graduation, I immediately began working on my Master's in Library Science. I just turned 23, and I have a new kitten named Gadget. I have a wonderful but very extended family. I have 4 nephews, 1 niece, and 2 step brothers. I have a great boyfriend, Preston, who I met at Anderson almost 4 years ago. I really want to work in a public library with young adults/children. When children experience the love of learning and reading at a young age, that love can continue to grow as they get older. Someday, I want to own my own bookstore/coffee house (but not like B&N or Borders) - more comfortable, with live music in the evenings and wine for the adults and lots of plush couches and chairs. You might hear a lot about my passion for books, as well as Harry Potter, Twilight, Johnny Depp, Star Wars, and way too many TV shows and movies. I love to find beauty in random places. I love words; I love music; and I'm trying to make the best out of life.
