    General Questions: Getting to Know You


     


    Where do you live and how did you end up there?


    Columbus, OH – Ended up going to grad school to get my MS degree after graduating from BGSU. I honestly have no clue how I managed to get here…OSU just kind of came up and I decided to go here…


     


    What’s the story behind your birth name?


    I really am not all that sure. I have three sisters - and my parents named us all with K’s and I know that my daddy named me, and that he originally wanted to name me Dawn (thank the gods they stuck me with that as a middle name!). I don’t know that they looked it up first or anything – the meaning (warrior woman) does strike me as particularly accurate


     


    What’s the scariest movie you’ve ever seen?


     The Ring


    I don’t know why but when the icky decomposing girl climbed OUT of the TV…scared me to death. Still does! I blame the feet…they squished like they were real….


     


    What one song lyric do you love enough to tattoo onto you skin?
    The lyrics to “Dumb Girls”

    Desire to break everything

    Who is your favorite character from Seinfeld who is not one of the four main actors (Elaine, George, Kramer, and Jerry are out, people, out!)? If you didn’t watch Seinfeld, what is your problem?

    Lots of eyeballs.


    Blech. I hate eyeballs. They’re the only body part that REALLY grosses me out.


    And today we dissected sheep, perch, squid and octopus eyeballs.


    Everywhere I looked – cut up eyeballs, squished eyeballs, eyeball juice, bit, pieces, junk…gag….

  • I am very happy to report that next quarter I will not be teaching.


    YAY ME.


    I will be a GRA (graduate research assistant) helping one of my lab mates catch up with the sheer backlog of goose feathers from the ODNR.


    20 hours a week of research. I love research. And this will be NON-FRUSTRATING research. The protocols are set. I don’t really have to design anything.


    In theory, it could grow boring – but … I’ll still get my favorite part of research, which is seeing what it is. And that is one piss-poor explaination….

  • yay me
