candykane- Haha! Thank you. I get asked that very often, I just learned how to manage my time well, and I have a passion for learning–I LOVE anything math or science oriented. (:
One question for you.
How on earth could you possibly achieve all that?
You seem very smart. Go ahead and apply. My opinion doesn’t carry any weight, but I would say they would snatch you up.
