I see some familiar names, so I assume some of you know me already. I'm a doctoral candidate (political science) and simultaneously working on my third undergraduate degree (Spanish. The other two are political science and applied economics) and I love rats, djembes, recreational mathematics, writing, reading, walking in nature, playing with string (textile arts), films, languages (cxu estas aliaj esperantistoj cxi tie?), fruit (especially fresh pineapple. Canned pineapple, however, is vile and inedible), and anything purple, so long as it isn't a smelly shade of purple.
