I'm currently studying for my Ph D will graduate at the end of the academic year, so that is really exciting, and have been applying for faculty positions at universities all over the US and some in Canada recently, so that has been occupying a lot of my time. I have a garden where I grow vegetables, and I love to cook. I travel every chance I get was in China and the Caribbean this summer. Hiking it anything outdoors is always fun, and went for a hike with a few friends up a mountain this weekend. The leaves are changing here for fall so it was spectacular. If you are still interested tell me some about you.
