About Me
Well I don't really know what to say about myself other than I am an Anthropology major at California State University Chico and I am writing this blog as part of an assignment for a Multicultural English course. This is my third year at Chico State and I am enjoying myself. In the winter I sometimes teach snowboarding but am currently unemployed and not very happy about it. I love to skateboard, snowboard, backpack, swim, rock climb and just get outside. I also enjoy going to concerts, shows, plays and anything to do with the arts. I am an amateur painter and photographer. I love to travel and just recently returned from Europe and am looking forward to a great semester back.Recent Entries
