Introductions Getting to Know You and Me
Mrs. Workman And Her Journey…So Far
Who Am I – The Basics • Sarah Rose (Aebersold) Workman • 26 years old • 5 feet and maybe 1 inch (maybe) • I’m not a Hobbit, but I can sympathize • University of Louisville – B.A., M.A. in English, M.A.T. in Secondary Education • AKA – I’m an Over-achiever and Really Like to Learn
The Recent Past • December 15th I got married to This Guy And We Went to Disney World for our Honeymoon!
Yeah, But Who Is She Really? Are You Sure You Want to Know? Get Ready… Because This Is Sort of Embarrassing
Mrs. Workman is…A Really Big Nerd! And I Mean That In the Best Way Possible
What Makes Me A Nerd – Number 10 I Like to Write I write short stories, plays, screenplays, even two whole fairy tale novels for a now not-so-little girl I’ve known since she was 2 years old. Yes, and sometimes I even write fan fiction.
What Makes Me A Nerd – Number 9 I Love Reading Barnes and Noble is like my second home. And I almost only read Classic Literature (except for my obsession with Neil Gaiman). Book Worm, right?
What Makes Me A Nerd – Number 8 I’m a Super Massive Anglophile I refer to England as the Blessed Isle. I have been there three times and can’t wait to go again! At random times I will break out into a British accent, so prepare yourself.
What Makes Me A Nerd – Number 7 I play flute and alto-saxophone In High School, I was in Band, Jazz Band, & Pep Band. Back in my day, this made you talented, but a nerd. I’m not sold on that last one.
What Makes Me A Nerd – Number 6 I Love Acting I was in all my school’s plays from 4th grade to Senior Year. I even wrote my alma mater’s Fall Play after I got out of High School.
What Makes Me A Nerd – Number 5 One of My Favorite TV Shows Was Made Before I Was Born. I heart Remington Steele. Before he was Bond, Pierce Brosnan was Remington Steele.
What Makes Me A Nerd – Number 4 I am a Disney Addict! I love all things Disney – movies, music, the parks, Vinylmation, all of it! I have a serious problem, but it’s a magical one.
What Makes Me A Nerd – Number 3 I love Lord of the Rings. I still had LOTR posters on my bedroom walls when I got married. I know, right? Now, they hang in my classroom.
What Makes Me A Nerd – Number 2 I am totally obsessed with Star Wars I’ve read way too many of the books, own a bunch of Star Wars board games, and have even been to a Star Wars convention. Personally, I think this makes me Awesome!
What Makes Me A Nerd – Number 1 I love Doctor Who! He is a Time Lord who can travel anywhere in Time or Space in his ship that looks like a blue police box. It’s a sci-fi show from England that is now more than 50 years old. Basically, it’s amazing and you should join the Doctor Who Club.
