I suspect that most of the people who will read this blog already know me, but I've decided to stop cyber-stalking some of my favorite blogs and officially come out as a follower. So, I'm going to bore all of you that already know me with an introductory post in case any of these 'internet celebrities' decide to stop by.
I am a perpetual student living in the Canadian prairies working on a PhD in environmental toxicology. Since people always ask what that actually means, I basically study the fate and effects of chemicals in the environment. Specifically, I study the effects of chemicals that impact the endocrine systems of amphibians. I have always loved herps (reptiles and amphibians), and I'm fascinated by endocrinology, so I really like what I do.
I have lots of hobbies but very few that I'm terribly serious about. At the moment, biking and running lead the list. I used to do a lot of rock climbing, but living in the prairies makes vertical hobbies difficult. I like to cook. I love to read.
I was born and raised in Michigan, which I mention since I follow some blogs exclusively because their authors are Michiganders. I miss the Great Lakes State, and reading about other people's experiences there makes me feel like I'm closer to home sometimes.
This is my second attempt at maintaining a blog. I didn't update the first one regularly enough to make it worthwhile. While there were various reasons for that, I think the most important was that I wasn't writing about subjects that were personal enough. So, instead of making this blog an online journal or training diary, I am going to attempt to use it to introduce who I am In Real Life.
