The lowdown on my presentation...

I've been trying to think of some interesting topics to cover in my google presentation. I don't really consider myself that interesting, so it will a challenge to put my life into a presentation. As of right now, I plan to cover my interests (ex. cooking) and my favorite bands/artists. Music is a huge part of my life so I will try not to go overboard with that kind of information. I will also include pictures from my trips to various places.
I'm somewhat excited to put this presentation together. I hope that it allows all of you to get a better idea of the things I like to do. I'm still working on the material I'll be including, but I will try my best to keep you interested.

All About Me...

Well, my name is Crystal. I'm 20 years old and am originally from Sylacauga, AL. No need asking where that is located...it's not a very exciting place. I've officially lived in Mobile for one week and so far I love it!
In my spare time, I like to read, go shopping, discover new music, cook, and watch the History Channel as well as the Fox News Channel. What can I say? I am a bit of a nerd. My taste in music is varied; I love everything from country to classic rock. I believe that it takes a true music lover to appreciate (not so much like) other genres. Another one of my loves is travel. So far I've been to New York City, Philadelphia, Tennessee, Washington, D.C., and Italy. Italy was definitely my favorite destination and I plan to go back very soon.
I'm not exactly sure what brought me to South. Before moving here, I had only been to the campus twice. I suppose the best way to describe it is that I felt called here. Since moving here I've met some really amazing people and I'm really excited to build these relationships over the next few years.
I'm a believer and I'm daily trying to become more like Christ. I fall flat on my face daily, but He is good and displays His mercy in my life every moment of the day. By no means am I perfect, but I find comfort in the knowledge that God loves me unconditionally.
I guess that's all you need to know about me...or at least that's all I can think of right now. I'm a really open person and love meeting new people. I feel building relationships with people is one of the most important things we can do. So I hope that this post will be the start of many new friendships!
