College Stuff

 

I'm currently attending Allentown College of Saint Francis de Sales. I'm majoring in Accounting and Management of Information Technology (it's a computer/business major) and a minor in Spanish. Hopefully I'll be graduating in May 2001. (It all depends on whether or not I can get the classes I need, but I don't think it'll be a problem.) I'm pretty involved with stuff on campus. I'm a Resident Advisor, which in a nutshell means I try to keep dorm life running smoothly for all the residents. I also do Campus Ministry and sing in Chorale. I've also made some great friends here at college. (For more about them check out my page of photos of college friends.)

Hobbies

Sewing
I seem to do mostly costumes, but I love sewing almost anything. If I'm not doing work of any kind, chances are you can find me sewing.
Singing
I originally took voice lessons because I wanted to be on Broadway. That dream has been long gone, but I've gained a lot from my voice lessons that will last me forever.
Dancing
Now don't get the wrong idea here - I'm not saying that I'm good at it! But I really like dancing - especially swing dancing! (Now if only I could find a partner...)

Favorites

(I didn't know how else to organize this, so this will have to do!)

Music: I'll listen to almost anything, and it would be hard for me to pick just one artist. But Barenaked Ladies, Dave Matthews Band, Sarah McLachlan, and Joni Mitchell are definitely at the top of my list.

Movies: My all-time favorite has to be Gone With The Wind. The book was better, but the movie was still phenomenal. I also have to put in a good word for Life Is Beautiful - it is a very close second place.

Food: I'm not picky - I'll eat almost anything!

Television Show: Okay, I guess I have to admit it! The only show I watch on a regular basis is Sailor Moon! For those of you who don't know, Sailor Moon is a Japanese cartoon about a group of girls (most of whom are about 14 years old) who transform into superheroes to save the world. My friends and I are obsessed with it. We don't just watch it - we are the characters! Seriously! For example, I'm Sailor Mercury because I'm dainty and know a lot about computers, just like Sailor Mercury - oh, and because her name is Amy. The picture on the left is me, Sailor Mercury. Then in the picture on the left, Sailor Jupiter (Amanda) is the one with the ponytail, Sailor Venus (the blond with the bow) is Katie (because Sailor Venus is a movie star and Katie's going to be a famous director someday), Sailor Mars (Meggen) has the long brown hair, and the blond with pigtails is Sailor Moon (Jennie). Brandon is a character from the show too - Tuxedo Mask, who is Sailor Moon's love interest on the show (but I couldn't find a picture of him with the scouts).
