When interacting with people, I usually try to find moments to throw in some humor. If we exchange letters/emails, you can be sure my sense of humor will show up there. I spend a lot of my time learning either German, Greek, or (recently) Spanish. My interest in other languages is mostly for the fun of reading and writing. Even in English I'm quite in groups, so my speaking skills in second/third languages aren't to be boasted about. I work at a university with international students. I like to take long runs and my favorite food to make is pizza. I'm kind of a big kid that way.
