About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Not to fail anything.

ABOUT ME

I.. am a student. Also, I'm not good at talking about myself. Currently studying the brain. We'll see how that goes.

PHILOSOPHY

I guess I haven't quite figured that one out. Ask me again in a few years.

Music, Movies, and Books

I just finished "Die Stadt der Träumenden Bücher" or the City of Dreaming Books (my first only German book!) and have started on the sequel. I will also read anything but Kurt Vonnegut or Ray Bradbury. If I'm not in classes, I always have my nose in a book. My kindle is my best friend.

Movies: Dogma, Boondock Saints, anything Monty Python or Mel Brooks, most Pixar films,

To describe my taste in music, I'll quote someone from my lab "Every time I've walked by you it has been a different genre." My playlist will go from ACDC to James Morrison to Joss Stone to Broadway musicals. Some people find it annoying. Oh well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched the sun rise over the Masai Mara in a hot air balloon.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could help you learn basic German grammar, how we see, and how to knit.
