I'm Ariel. I am currently a student at Oregon State University, but as you have probably read I will be going somewhere else next year. I am an international business major and Spanish minor. I plan to study in Spain next year to fulfill my Spanish minor requirements and I want to study in Italy my senior year to fulfill my international business requirements, but we'll see how that goes. I'm not a journalist and I don't write like one. I tend to rant when I write and get really wordy, so I apologize ahead of time for that. I consider myself to be the more aesthetic member of the Anomalous Happenings team, where as Christina is the analytical/politically savvy member. I am an obsessive list maker so expect a few of those. I love the beach and the ocean for obvious reasons. I watch too much TV and quite a bit of that is the Food Network (I just learned how to link). I love swimming and playing softball. I amuse myself really easily. I just about always have some sort of lip gloss/chapstick with me. Josh Groban is my favorite singer, but I listen to all types of music. I often describe myself as a fountain of useless information and it's true for the most part. Some of my pet peeves are when people have their pants tucked into their shoes, being treated like a child, really dirty bathrooms, stupid questions (yes they do exist), and Disney sequels.
I find myself encountering anomalous happenings on a regular basis. I promise to do my best to report them to you and stay true to the theme of this blog. If anyone reading this ever has any questions for either Christina or me please ask them. We love to know that we have an audience.

An Obligatory Introduction
I would usually be getting ready for bed right about now. From what I can tell, I go to bed quite a bit earlier than my peers. Tomorrow, however, the first two of my three classes are canceled. I don't have to be anywhere until 11. Usually my classes start at 9. As I do not have to get up so early tomorrow morning, I really don't have to go to bed for a little while yet. I've decided now is as good a time as any to do a little introductory post. Right now because the blog is still so new it's a novelty and slightly addicting. I don't know how long this phase will last, however, so I feel the need to get several posts I feel obligated to make out of the way.
I am not entirely sure why I feel obligated to do an introductory post. I assume that the few people who will end up reading this blog will probably already know me. For those few who somehow happen to stumble across anomalous happenings, this is for their benefit. Also for their benefit, I shall try to be brief. A little late perhaps I know.
My name is Christina. I attend Washington State University. I am a Journalism and Political Science-Pre Law double major. As one may have learned from previous posts, I work for The Daily Evergreen, the student newspaper. I have yet to decide whether I want to become a journalist after school or to continue on to law school. As of late, I've been feeling a need to make that decision about my future, but like Ariel, I find it quite difficult. It is also difficult for me to not have a plan, however. I like organization and planning. Some might say that I become stressed too easily, but I've gotten used to and have adapted to deal with stress. Now it has a special place in my life. I thrive on it while at the same time worrying that one day it will give me a heart attack. My character is full of many other contradictions as well, but I'll discuss more of them at a later time. I enjoy writing, reading, and a good argument. I love being in the outdoors and go hiking every summer with my family. I tend to be a bit cynical and the only thing I hate more than feeling awkward or embarrassed, is being disappointed.
I would like to think that I am too complex to be fully understood and known by the several lines above, but this at least should be a start. Ariel can add anything she thinks to be particularly relevant.
