Julie wakes up early even when she doesn’t have to and reads books even when they have startlingly ugly covers. The liquid in her body is 30% veggie soup, probably. She just finished applying to grad school programs in speech therapy—a dizzying process that, from a distance, looked a lot like jumping through hoops on fire. (If you were thinking about asking her about her grad school plans, just know that she’s been writing slightly different short essay prompts on that topic for the last four months. Ask her about puppies instead. She’s been an especially big fan of puppies recently.)
Someday soon, Jules will be a kick-ass speech therapist—probably one that researches, maybe one that helps newborn babies figure out how to eat. She hasn’t totally decided yet. For now, you can find her writing fiction stories in the library, practicing handstands in Level II yoga, or curled up with a cup of Irish Breakfast tea on our apartment’s enormous couch. (Water for the tea has to be heated in a kettle though—not the microwave. That’s important.)
Julie has a knack for bringing out the best in people. The first Lord of the Rings movie is her favorite, mostly for the camaraderie. She’ll talk politics with you anytime you’d like. And she still wears a lot of black tank tops.
