I'm from Jackson, MS, but I've lived here and there...from Ireland to Minnesota. I just graduated with bachelor's degrees in linguistics and psychology, and I'm currently in a TESL masters program...but I'm not sure if I'll stick with that. I WAS a vegetarian, but now I will eat meat. I'm much more concerned with where the food came from...is it ethical? did it travel 32543 miles to get to my plate? etc...? I'm pretty into the environment: I started a club on campus with a friend of mine, I try to ride my bike as much as possible, I use reusable bags at the grocery store - you know, that kind of thing. <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
