Denise's Intro Post

Hi my name is Denise Huth. I'm a chemistry major who would REALLY like to graduate already. If all goes well I should be graduating December 2008. Let's all hope that happens. Most of the time I'm not at school I'm at work. I actually have 2 jobs. For the most part I'm at Swatch (in the WBM) where I am an assistant manager and the store's trainer. My other job takes up about 3-4 hours of my life every week and that's at Express (that one's in GSP). All I really do there is audit paperwork and count money on Friday nights.. and that's a pretty sweet way to keep my discount.

Being at work is actually what made me want to become a teacher. Once I became a manager I found that one of my favorite parts of the job was training and coaching. When I stopped to think about it, I realized that the only class I liked in high school was chemistry, so I figured teaching chemistry would be a good way to go. Aside from all that, 5 years of working in retail will make almost anyone appreciate the thought of being at home at night, on weekends, and on holidays. Even though a teacher's day doesn't really end at 3:00 when the last bell rings at least I'll be able to be at HOME grading papers.

If I'm not at work or school I'm either watching bad tv on VH1 (or some other terrible channel) or going to the movies. I also own more dvd's than any normal person needs to own (seriously, I have about 300). I also collect Swatch watches. The ticking from the second hands in my room is enough to drive a normal person insane.

I don't have much to say about reading because I don't have time to do much of it. The last thing I read and really enjoyed way probably the most recent Augusten Burroughs memoir (he's the guy that wrote Running with Scissors... and yes, the book is better than the movie). I usually like to read non-fiction. Last summer my brother gave me a book about Richard Feyman to read, and that was good. I also enjoyed A Beautiful Mind. (He was far more crazy than the movie would lead you to think.)

That's it for me.
