Introduction to a Fairly Normal Gal

My name is Jency, and I'm a junior majoring in Chemical Biosciences with a double minor in Social Sciences and Criminology. I was born and raised in Yukon, Oklahoma where my parents still live. I have an older sister who lives in Houston, TX. She has three adorable kids who are my life. I got to visit them over Christmas break and it was definitely the best part. My nieces are 10 and 5, and my nephew is turning 2 this weekend. The saddest part always is leaving them because we don't get to visit often. I work part-time as a medical scribe in OKC, and it's definitely been a learning experience. Thankfully, I've been able to balance school and work fairly well so far.

Reading is one of my favorite hobbies, but I rarely have time for it anymore. I love reading mystery novels, usually by Agatha Christie. I'm also a huge romantic, so I've read nearly every romance novel in my library. I also liked The Princess Diaries and Eragon back in high school. The only reading I do now is from my textbooks, sadly.

Eragon is the first book in a series by Christopher Paolini. (Image: Wikimedia Commons)

As far as TV shows and movies go, I like basically anything except for horror. I do not like to be scared, but I do like action and superhero films. It is a real struggle to keep up with all my TV shows and school and work, but I think I make it work. Friends is my favorite show of all time, followed closely by the Office and Grey's Anatomy. I also play piano and sing as part of the worship team at church, which is great. I have been wanting to learn how to play the guitar, but I don't think that will be happening anytime soon. 

I haven't really visited a lot of places, except for India, where I went last summer. It was a lot of fun, but the heat and humidity were unbearable. I could not wait to come home to A/C and cooler weather. Aside from Houston, my parents and I haven't traveled to many states here. We do have plans to go to Disneyworld this summer, but we have a history of plans falling through at the last minute, so I'm really hoping this one sticks! 

I do like cooking, but I normally stick to basic recipes. My sister and mom are the true cooks in the family. I'm simply the taste-tester, which I'm perfectly happy with. My favorite food is Italian food. I could eat pasta and pizza every day and be satisfied, but my mom makes mostly Indian food. 

I'm not really sure what I want to do with my life yet. I'm thinking about medical school, but I think graduate school is also a possibility. Hopefully, I figure it all out soon, but until then, I'm just trying to keep on swimming! I am excited about this class since it doesn't have any equations or reactions. I hope to learn a lot and have fun doing it!
