About myself

My name is Jesse Shankland and I am from Marietta, Ohio.  Marietta is southeast Ohio and isn’t a very big town.  I would describe myself as being laid back and non-confrontational.  I have a friendly personality and like to talk to people.  My mom would say I’m intelligent but don’t apply myself enough.  In high school, I ran Cross Country and Track.  I ran distance and pole vaulted in track so I consider myself as an athletic person.  I also swam on the swim team my senior year.  Swimming is definitely one of my favorite things to do.  I swim every day of the week to stay in good shape.  The Buckeye’s have always been my favorite sports team so I grew up wanting to go to Ohio State after I graduated high school.  I decide to declare Pharmacy as my major because medicine and chemistry are big interests of mine.  Also, Pharmacists get paid a lot of money and have almost guaranteed job placement.  I’ve worked as a lifeguard for five summers at different outdoor pools in my hometown.  I really enjoy being outside and being tan so I enjoy this job a lot.  I consider writing and English to be my biggest academic weakness so I’m not excited about writing so much every day.  I already ran out things to say about 5 sentences ago.  I got arrested this past summer because I threw a huge party for the 4^th of July and I got an underage when it was busted.  In class, I said my mom would describe me as lazy and that I need to pick up after myself.  This is because I’m fairly unorganized and I messy room really doesn’t bother me much.  I want to watch Buffy for the next blog because she looks hot.  That’s about 300 words there so I’m pretty satisfied with that 10-minute effort.
