Hello! My name is Laura Street. Like I mentioned last Wednesday, I was born in Las Vegas, Nevada. However, since my parents were in the US military, I didn't spend much time there. In fact, much of my youth was spent growing up on military bases around the country and around the globe. Out of all the places that I have lived, I must say that I am most in love with Japan. I spent a total of seven years there, and I really appreciate their societal and cultural values. Once I am finished with college, I plan to return there to teach EFL (English as a Foreign Language). One other interesting fact about me is that I am engaged. My fiance and I met in high school while we were living in Japan, and we have been dating for six years. He is half Japanese and half Guatemalan, and unlike me, he actually speaks Japanese fluently (show off). He is also the reason that I actually ended up moving to New Jersey. He goes to school here, and we decided to move in together. Right now we live together in a small apartment in Bloomfield, and we plan to get married at some point after we graduate. As for hobbies, I enjoy foreign music and films (subtitles preferred over dubbing), video games, and anime/manga. I'm not what I would call a "big reader", but I do sometimes pick up a book related to my interests (namely linguistics, biology, and Japanese culture).
Well, that's me in a nutshell! I look forward to getting to know you all this semester!

its rare in this area to be able to find someone with a connection to the military & someone who understands what its like to be away from the one you love! its been hard, but we try to see each other at least once a month. its a 10 hour drive between camp lejeune and NJ, so its not always easy, especially with his training schedule. thats great that youre finally with your fiance though...i cant wait til i can say the same! good luck with the wedding plans!
