I'm college student majoring in nutrition and dietetics. It sounds really intresting until you realize you have to organic chemistry. I'll be graduating in May 2008 and I am looking into volunteering as a nutrition educator for Americorps and getting my RD. I like to workout, I used to play basketball but lots of injuries have me doing yoga and walking now. My main passion is reading. I love to read, my friends think I'm a geek for it but that's ok!
