A bio of mine

My choice muffin is the bran-carrot-raisin-oats. But it’s got to be moist. If it isn’t almost half baked, the thing is best tossed in the compost heap. And that’s how you can tell I’m a PIRG-er! I joined MPIRG the first week of freshman year, lost in the most populated place I’d lived in, looking to meet active anybody’s. The U was teeming with young people way more radical than I could’ve imagined – shit, they did shit! – and MPIRG helped me be part of it. Mom still tells her friends about her crazy daughter organizing Take Back the Night, “I’m not sure exactly, but I tell ya what, those girls owned those streets.” After graduation is, don’t judge me, the Peace Corps. If I have any advice, it’s this: learn a useful language in college. Cause man, as much as I love sign language, it sure isn’t an international tongue, and I’d really like to see this world of ours. There I will be teaching English. There is still up in the air, but the Feds seem to think I’d make a good Russian. And let’s face it. They are the ones taking the fingerprints. State Board is an entity foreign to me, much like the Feds. Though, I am an alternate to this Board. Why did I run? Because I wanted to see what the fuss was about. Because I love strategic planning. Really! The whole business about visioning fits right in with my Meyers-Briggs type. So in conclusion, you are cordially invited to the Monday meetings of my current taskforce, the Women’s Taskforce. We’re serving ginger punch and sherbet at our next gathering, and you friend, we’d love to see you.
