Hobbies
I'm a pretty classic nerd. I read for fun (especially science fiction) every single day, am a BSO season ticket holder, and have tons of pictures of my cat, Houdini on my phone. I'm known for my baking and pulling practical jokes at work/school (although I'd never mix the two - not cool. You have to respect your cookies). I created an enrichment (it's like an elective) at my school where I teach students about engineering by building kites with them. I'm also an amateur bird watcher and spent my last April break in the rainforest in Costa Rica hiking and wildlife spotting.
