I'm a recently graduated student from Northern California, who likes to travel, cook, do arts and craft projects, and particularly read. My intent with hubpages is to cover these subjects with posts, especially about cooking, and history, where I am blessed with university library access that gives me an essentially unlimited amount of information to learn and discuss. This lends itself to a lot of book reviews, where although I'm rarely an expert in the particular subject, I do enjoy looking at the volumes from a layman's perspective and trying to say what they did wrong and right. I also upload some of the school papers I do, although now that I've graduated from university, there will naturally be less of those!
