Thanks to Rachel for the post title, this is how the pic of me in Wednesday's slide show is labeled. Catchy, I thought!
I'm a first-year PhD stu

dent (originally from San Francisco, just moved here from Ann Arbor), focusing on Project Narrative and I already love living in Columbus with my pup, Lili. She is a blue-eyed cockerpoo with a super mellow personality unless an annoying dog gets in her face or anyone messes with me.
One of my major passions is painting. 2009 is my first major exhibition year. You can see my art web site here:
TheresaRojas dot comI'm Mexican-American (Chicana) and fluent in Spanish, though fairly out of practice. My family back in California tells me that I have a weird accent after 11 years in Michigan. I miss really good Mexican food!
One of my pet peeves is not having a pen handy when I need to write something, so you'll find cups full of them all over my home. I still write longhand letters and love to get fun care packages in the mail (who doesn't?). I also put a high value on family and friendship. I always return pens when I steal them. Borrow. I meant to say that I
borrow them.
I am fabulously excited to be here!
