An Introduction to Me

Hi everyone! My name is Jessica Handwerk. This is my second year at OU and I am a Biochemistry major. Here's a little bit about me-

Where I've Been:

My hometown is Woodsboro, MD. I talk a little bit about it in my Favorite Place post. I graduated from Walkersville High School in 2017 with a class of 260, so the massive amount of people at OU is still a bit crazy for me. I played soccer all the way through my sophomore year of high school and have been in the orchestra since I was 9 years old. I play the Violin and Viola, as well as a little bit of self taught guitar. l was a member of the stage crew for my middle and high school productions for 6 years and even did Mock Trial in 9th grade. This summer I went camping with three of my best friends from high school (without adult supervision- no one died) and then went straight into working 40+ hours a week as a lifeguard. I also did a lot of pet sitting this summer, which was super fun!
Day One of our crazy camping trip. We were all still so optimistic.

Where I Am:

This year I will be taking Italian 3, Physics 2 for Life Science Majors, Experiencing Music, Organic Chemistry 1: Biological Emphasis, and this class! I am a member of Alpha Sigma 
Kappa, a social sorority for STEM majors. I love procrastinating with YouTube and Netflix and have already spent WAY too much money on iced mochas at The Bookmark. I recently went on a 2am Walmart run with my roommate (I managed to successfully drive her car since she was too tired- it's a manual transmission) and am now the proud owner of an Eeyore onesie. It even has a tail. I'm actually super excited about this class and exploring the world of blogging!

Where I'm Going (Hopefully):

My dream at this point is to become a Forensic Toxicologist and probably work for the FBI. Although, if I've learned anything over the almost 20 years I've been on this planet, life hardly ever goes as planned. Sometimes though, the ride is much more exciting than the actual destination.
