Me

I know, I know, I'm getting carried away. Well, I received an email from Biola advertising their new student blogs which are super duper neato (all you potential Biola-goers check them out) but anyway each of them had a section about themselves. I have officially decided I really haven't introduced myself fully. My section under "About Me" does not do any justice so here it goes.
