about me // My name is Christine, I'm 20 and a junior in college, I currently live in both northern and southern California, depending on whether or not school is in session.  I don't want to delude you into thinking that I live a particularly glamorous or exciting life, because I can assure you that what consists of my life tends to be routine and the norm.  In all honesty, I like it that way, I'm not suffering from horrendous bouts of misery because I don't like the way I live my life.  If I was, I would do what I could to change it so I was happy :)

I attend University of California, Irvine as a double major in economics and political science.  I will graduate in June 2007, and then will pursue a combined graduate program consisting of MBA/JD degrees at a northern California university (yes, I'm eager to leave the SoCal scene).  If all goes to plan, which is nearly never does, I should be twenty-five and done with the majority of my school and pushed out into the "real world".  In regards to my career aspirations, I'd like to be a corporate or corporate/financial strategist/analyst.  Ultimately, I want to have my own consulting company that sends out analysts/strategists to companies who need them.

So with all that ambition, you can see that my life is very much dedicated to educating myself.  I also work part-time as an associate/consultant to a firm that is linked to Irvine's City Hall measuring the traffic impacts new construction and modifications have on the city streets.  The job itself is pretty damn boring, but the pay is very nice, and I do like the flexibility (I work when I want, essentially) because I need it with the frequency of my trips to northern California and with school going on.

Going home on a monthly basis does have its ups... namely the fact that I get to see my boyfriend, Shaun (spizike). The drive is only a hundred miles, instead of five hundred :)  I guess I should take this spot to say what a sexy, smart, and irresistible god my man is!  <33 . We've been officially together since October 8th, so we're almost at a year and half!. I think that's about all there is to say on that front, folks.

I used to describe myself as a lean, mean bitch machine, but [un]fortunately, I've somehow grown into a better temperament... I am simply not as angry as I used to be.  Maybe it's because I'm a hell of a lot happier these days than I was a year ago.  Nonetheless, I do possess a brain, the capacity to maintain a conversation, a minor regard for others, and a low threshold for bullshit.  I tolerate everybody, but I may not like someone even if I'm nice to them.  I don't like to bother with the drama that comes from confrontation or outright meanness.  On that note, I also hate fighting with the people I care about.  It makes me feel awful, and it's usually not worth it.

I think I used to be a lot more forthcoming, but I am more reserved and hold more things back these days.  I have less confidence in my little circle of friends, and so I tend to guard myself emotionally because of it.  I'm never sure how somebody feels about me, and I hate being the one clinging to something that isn't there.
