About (request update)

I am PhD student and work in a lab. Actually, I should have a bed in my office, but it's no possible, so finding time to relax is a must! I am very outgoing, and I love to laugh. I love being around those that I can learn from. I love intelligent, meaningful conversation. I need to be challenged intellectually, emotionally, and physically. I am very open-minded and enjoy meeting people that have a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. I don't mind listening and giving honest advice. Right now, I am focused on work and meeting interesting people. There is a lot more about me, but no one really reads this anyway.*SMILE*
