Unfortunately meals will be finalized the second week in August.

Keep this under 2-3 sentences.
If being a professor wasn't going to work out, what was your fun non-related "back-up plan"?

What's one of your favorite habits? OR what is one of your least favorite habits?
805 Bootcamp- every morning at 5:30am sharp! Depending on the activity that day, it's either my favorite or least favorite. Anybody have tips for those who hate to run?"
What is your favorite or least favorite part of your day?
"My favorite part of the day is at night after both my kids are tucked into bed, lunches have been made, and I'm drinking my decaf coffee with a fire. It's the first moment in my entire day that I have likely relaxed."

"How to do landscaping AND make my yard look good. Anyone want to come help me- I'll feed you dinner for some advice!"
Who is someone (or some pet!) that is a really important part of your life?
"My horse, Ferdinand, always makes my day when I go riding during the evenings."

For instance, where are you coming from, your last position, your positive CSUN selling point, and something fun about you. Let us know if you do not give permission to post this information. *
