A Little More About Me...

Thanks to Stephanie over at Almost Diamonds for tagging me in a post and providing me with a 5 Things Meme? to respond to. I'm seeing at as kind of like those surveys that used to get passed around through email so many years ago. So, here goes:

5 Things I was Doing 10 years Ago:

1. Going through my parents' divorce.
2. Being a bratty teenager.
3. Skipping school at every opportunity.
4. Smoking in the bathroom at school when I couldn't skip.
5. Dyeing my hair jet black.

5 Things On My To-Do List Today:

1. Get some sleep for a change, because I'm running on only 2 hours rest right now.

2. Make my amazing spinach dip and then gorge myself on it, easing the guilt by pairing it with low fat multigrain tortilla chips and reminding myself of all the fiber that's in spinach.

3. This is already done, but it WAS on my to-do list. Met with my grad student research partner to draft a coding guide for the second part of our 3-part study. 

4. Intended to work on an application essay for grad school, but decided I didn't get enough sleep for it to make any sense. 

5. Watch ER, The Daily Show, and Colbert online before going to bed.

5 Snacks I Love:

1. Multigrain tortilla chips with my homemade spinach dip...YUM
2. Doritos
3. Pickles
4. Cheddar Chex Mix
5. Cucumber slices dipped in ranch dressing.

5 Things I Would Do If I Were A Millionaire:

1. Buy a house with a library in it so I can finally have a place that will fit all of my books.
2. Quit my job now instead of waiting to start a PhD program
3. Spend all my newfound free time after quitting my job reading all those books I own and haven't gotten around to yet.
4. Buy more books.
5. Pay off my parents' mortgages. 

5 Places I've Lived:

1. 2 hours away from the nearest beach
2. 15 minutes away from the nearest beach
3. 1 hour away from the "fake" beach
4. In the "shady" part of the city
5. In the "nicer" part of the city

5 Jobs I've Had:

1. Field Sales Representative
2. Territory Manager
3. Sales Consultant
4. Bridal Consultant
5. On-Campus Marketing Representative

5 People I'll Tag That I Don't Know Enough About:

5. Comrade Physioprof (because I think it'd be fun)

Ooh, sales jobs. You're a much braver person than I am.

Sounds like our teenage selves had a fair amount in common, although I never went for black hair. I stuck with red.

you asked for it...you got it

Oh, I was a redhead first and after! The black was this phase I was going through because I have always wished for Asian hair - so straight and shiny and perfect. Instead it ended up frizzy and fried. I don't recommend it.

PhizzleDizzle said...

my hair is not straight nor perfect, would that it were! curse my misbehaving Asian hair! :)

you make me so crave spinach dip, it's not even funny. i seriously want to go make some now. only we don't have any chips. and it's 12:30am. sigh :).

I'm almost scared to ask...how old did you think I was before reading my meme?

JLK said...

Honestly, AA, I didn't really have any sort of age in mind. I never assume that because someone is a grad student that they're in their twenties, and I feel like most of the blogs that I read don't give any sort of clues as to a person's age and I never try to figure it out.

Don't worry! I totally wasn't trying to imply that I assumed you were a lot older than I am!

Unknown said...

Well that's a comfort. Grad school does age you though (you've been fairly warned). I was just at my friend's bachelorette party and we were looking at photos from our first year of grad school (2004). We look like CHILDREN compared to now. Gah! I blame the stress.
