Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Graduate having as much fun as I can along the way.
ABOUT ME
Well, my friends call me Gonzo. I'm a Spanish grammar and linguistic nerd, and hope to go into the Peace Corps after I graduate, teach high school after that, do graduate work in Spanish linguistics, and possibly become a politician in the U.S. once it's cool to say you're a socialist there (that is, if the country lasts that long, which, considering how we've been acting recently, is not looking real great at the moment).
I like to go out with friends, party, learn languages, read about nerdy scientific things on wikipedia, cook, and, o screw it, that's enough...
PHILOSOPHY
"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians."
Take risks, but don't be downright stupid about it.
Carpe Diem: "eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die."
"If you judge people, you have no time to love them"
