my Journal... |

About me...Hello,
I'm Andrea! I'm a junior at ASU, pursuing a
degree in English lit with a minor in
history. What do I hope to do with that? Get
a PhD, of course! I also work full time at
FedEx and live in an apartment that's more of
a little zoo, actually. I have a small
parrot, a floppy eared rabbit, a guinea pig, a
cat, some fish, and seven gerbils (possibly
more are on the way... I guess I'll find out
in about a month or so!) I really, really,
want a dog, but I don't think I have the
time or room for any more pets. I'm the
oldest of four kids, which is why I think I
feel the need to nurture and take care of
everything. I hope to be done with school in
two years, but I'm trying to focus on
maintaining good grades, so it might take
longer. |
|
Where I go to college: |
Arizona State
University
|
|
My Major: |
English lit
with a minor in History |
|
My year in college: |
junior...Well,
second year junior. I'm on the five year plan
because I work full time! |
|
My dreams for my future: |
I hope to get
an Ma, and then PhD with a focus in
Asian-American lit or children's lit, start a
non-profit food bank for animals, finish my
children's book, teach, and live on a
ranch...I'd also like to someday improve on my
cooking skills, which are non-existent! |
|
How I plan on getting there: |
With little
sleep! Seriously, through patience,
determination, and the belief that I will
get there, no exceptions. |
|
My favorite things to do: |
I enjoy
spending time with my menagerie of animals. I
also love to read, and travel when I can.
Which isn't much, being a college student and
all. Honestly, I really enjoy going to
class...I love being challenged and stimulated
by my professors. Working has really helped
me appreciate my education.

|
My favorite books: |
Wow! Tough
choice! Anything by Amy Tan, Coming of Age in
Mississippi (talk about inspirational people),
any of the Harry Potter books are pretty good,
Red China Blues, and A Mid-Summer Night's
Dream (which I just got done with for my
Shakespeare class) |
|
My favorite poet: |
Anne
Bradstreet, Langston Hughes, and Edgar Allen
Poe. Walt Whitman is also great.
|
|
My favorite movie: |
Annie is my all
time favorite, but I also like Grease, the
Lady and the Tramp, and anything written by
Mel Brooks |
|
My favorite thing about me: |
I have a big
heart, especially when it comes to animals (I
can't even watch hunting on TV, it makes me
cry!) and I'm very loyal. I also have a drive
to constantly prove and improve myself in all
that I do. |
|
The worst thing about me: |
I'm driven, but
also stubborn. I tend to be a perfectionist,
and have a hard time asking and accepting help
from others. I also tend to be late for
everything! |
|
Advice for girls: |
Believe in
yourself, and don't listen when others
bring you down (I know it sounds cheesy, but
it's true). You alone have the capability to
make all dreams a reality, even when it seems
impossible. |
