As you've no doubt gathered by now, I'm Rachel. Pleased to meet you.
I graduated from Duke University in May 2008 and am originally from Greensboro, North Carolina. I now work at CNN and live in Atlanta. If you meet me, you'll probably ask why I don't have a southern accent. It's because neither of my parents is from the south and i've spent a lot of time up north. The next thing you'll probably say is either "I love your basketball team" or "I hate your basketball team." More likely the latter. But don't feel bad. We enjoy being hated. And speaking of basketball, yes, I've tented out for Duke basketball in Krzyzewskiville. Once for almost two months! It was absolutely worth it.
I really enjoy green jasmine tea, grilled cheese sandwiches, sunshine, constitutional and intellectual property law, Ella Fitzgerald, Christmas lights, cities, Powerbooks, my down comforter, musicals, coffee shops, museums, reading the paper and listening to NPR, and throwing my bow arm into the air after playing the last note of a symphony. I can't stand math problems involving distance or unit conversion, wearing socks & shoes in the summertime, feeling unorganized, ignorance, really cold weather, light bulbs burning out, waking up really late, or non-sugar-free gum. And as you might be able to tell from the previous couple of sentences, I am strongly in favor of the Oxford comma.
I designed and hand-coded this site on my Apple Powerbook using Eclipse.
