; [) ~! ~; C, Y. D1 Y! c4 y% \9 m# R& F$ B* E1 I( I
I love my students, so it’s difficult to imagine life without teaching and music. I would probably get paid meagerly for all the not-for-profit work I am currently doing for free?

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. I also love the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman. After my English degree, it has been difficult for me to look at words on a page without falling asleep immediately.

Recently, lots of AC/DC, Kansas, and Aerosmith. Nostalgic tunes that make up the soundtrack to my summer trips to the lake. Also, Chromeo and Robyn when it’s time for a dance party.

Rolling Stones. Everybody tells me that the Stones are better than the Beatles (I am a huge Beatles fan) and follows up by stating I can’t make an accurate assessment of the Stones because I haven’t seen them live. I would consider it a part of my research.1 e( a: y, n. G' Z& O: v% a: U

Too many to count! I have the habit of embarrassing myself almost daily. Everything from forgetting having previously meeting people, to spilling coffee on myself, and always putting my foot in my mouth. I run the gamut of embarrassing moments./ `8 h0 j4 u k |# N* ]$ o
