ABOUT ME

These things are always so difficult for me to fill out...I'm a daughter, sister, niece, granddaughter, auntie, and cousin before anything else. I'm a grad student who is impatiently waiting to just get to work. I'm molded by a sense of justice. I love to dance - in my living room or at a lounge. I'm from the Bronx and hope to travel to as many places as possible. I loathe mainstream media or anything that's on TV right now, thus the fact that I don't own a TV. Though I must admit, I do love Stephen Colbert. I love (other people's) kids and wish to own a house en el campo in Puerto Rico. Sit and listen to salsa all day. A good laugh makes all worries go away. That's all I got for now...
