Hi. I'm Sara.
(For maximum effect, hit play)
Animal Collective - For Reverend Green
I was born early in the night on a Monday in July, 1994. I'm currently 22 years old and hail from Tulsa, Oklahoma. My parents have been married for 30 years, and are both RNs in an ICU in Tulsa. I have a brother, Jacob, who is 17. I graduated high school online in 2012, then went to Tulsa Community College where I sorta unintentionally got my AS. I'm also a registered phlebotomist thanks to good ol' tech school. I'm a senior (technically...) studying Microbiology with minors in Chemistry and German. I still have 2 years until I graduate, though. I'm still contemplating my future career, but it'll be along the lines of MD specializing in infectious disease or PhD focusing on infection/antibiotic resistance, or somewhere in between! I'm currently a undergraduate research assistant at the Lawson Microbial Systematics Laboratory, where I'm helping out the graduate students who are working to classify/learn more about the human gut microbiome. I'll spare you the details, but if you want to know more, go here. I also work as a vet assistant at the a cat hospital here in Norman. I love my job, but sometimes there are sad days and I cry. The song you're hearing helps me on those days.
If you couldn't already tell, I love cats. I have 2 here in Norman (Church & Piper), and one back home in Tulsa (Lils). I also have a Siberian Husky named Jasper. I miss my pets in Tulsa, but am very lucky to have my two kitties (kids) here in Norman. They are siblings from the same litter. Church is blind, as he was born with Microphthalmia or "micro-eyes" Here are obligatory pictures:

I enjoy listening to music, my favorite band is Animal Collective. I used to play the drums, but I haven't had a kit a several years, so I can't say I still play. I also like watching TV quite a bit, my favorite shows are Arrested Development (which I watch all of the time) and The Wire (which I rarely watch, because it is emotionally draining. WALLACE WHY?!) I also enjoy going out with my friends, although I don't have many here in Norman. I like wine and board games, especially when combined. I enjoy cross-stitching rap lyrics and framing them, but I haven't actually *finished* one yet. I also like knitting, but I'm really bad at it, and I can never find left-handed patterns. Or I'm just too lazy to follow them.
I don't like talking about myself very much, especially to "strangers" on the internet, even though I guess you are technically my classmates (& professor), so that's all ya get for now!
