Hello My Fellow Nerds!


Recommended Posts

Greetings!

 

I am into ALL THE THINGS!

For work, I am a scientist. The rest of my time is spent with leading stuff at my church, running, karate, music (I sing and play guitar), photography, writing, reading, and travel. I have interests in practically anything outdoorsy (from hiking and horseback riding to whitewater rafting and archery), but don't have a ton of extra time to pursue those things except on vacation. So far I've been to 11 countries and way too many states, and have studied several languages (though I wouldn't consider myself fluent in any except English). Oh, and if you bring up anything Harry Potter, Star Wars, Sailor Moon, or Chuck, I will love you forever. ;) My alter ego is Sarah Walker from Chuck.

 

Goals... my fitness goals are to continue advancing in rank in karate, and get faster in running. I am considering adding in strength training, so I would be a total noob in that area. I'm also considering a sprint tri, just to shake things up. And maybe parkour, because it looks awesome. Life goals... I am looking at the possibility of moving to another state this year, and moving to another country within a few more years. Life is too short to not go adventuring. :D 

Nice to meet you all!

Hey hey! What kind of science do you do? Man, you're doing all of the things I want to do! I'm currently trying to teach myself tagalog, play the guitar, and am saving up to go to Colorado!

 

I'm looking forward to seeing you on the forums

Wow, you sound like you have been busy. I am sure you will have strength training figured out in no time, if you put the same level of focus into it that it seems you have put into the rest of your life.  Welcome

The only challenge is I'm not online every day... ;)

Mr.Six - I am a 1st dan (black belt). I still have quite a ways to go for my 2nd degree, but I'm working toward it!
Red1263 - Chemistry. I'm currently working in quality control/analytical, because that's where the jobs are. But probably my favorite is organic chem. I also have a degree in biology but have never used it out in the "real world". :)
Elastigirl - YASSSS! :D
Bean Sidhe - Thanks so much!

You don't have to be online everyday. So long as you keep us updated whenever you can, we'll be here to support you.

 

I'm glad you got something with your bio degree. I also have one but I couldn't do anything with it. No counselor at my school prepared me for any alternative career paths. But I commend you on O.Chem, that was my worst science. I could never wrap my head around it. Physics is where I excel at [emoji14]
