My name is JD Weidman, and I am a senior chemical engineering student at OU. I feel like I should not put a ton of information on the internet, but I am sure you could find this out on Facebook and twitter. I am a member of Brothers Under Christ (BYX) and I actively attend Summit Church in Newcastle. As far as hobbies or free time, I do not have a ton of time for either. Chemical engineering gets pretty hard sometimes, and with BYX and my small groups, when I have free time I just want to be really lazy and not do anything. When I want to have fun, I go two stepping with a group of friends who I have always gone dancing with since freshman year. Second semester freshman year, we went almost every single Thursday night. The owner and the bodyguard actually know who we are and sometimes let us do free things like ride the mechanical bull as much as we wanted. Not exactly the coolest thing to do, but we are really good at two stepping now. Plus, it has some of the best people watching I have ever seen. So, besides that, for fun, I really like building a fire and eating smores in my backyard with my roommates, seeing movies at the Warren, and reading. As far as reading goes, I usually binge read while all school breaks when I have time. Harry Potter were my first books to read when I was little. I still like mystery books like the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Jack Reacher series. Though, I do not mind reading things that are pretty much complete garbage but still mildly entertaining, like all the Mortal Instruments books. So, I like to think being open to the crappy stuff and saying that qualifies me as cultured.
