About Me

CURRENT MISSION

First Class Honours while enjoying the ride.

ABOUT ME

I am a Mathematics undergrad in my 3nd year out of 4 at the moment, just finishing an exchange year in Singapore. I study Maths because I genuinely enjoy it and find it interesting, not because of the apparent career prospects.
I like to going cool or weird places.
I like going to see live music, especially at really small venues and even better if the band put on a whole show rather than just get up and play their music.
I like going to house parties though they seem to be less and less frequent the older I get.
I like hanging out on my own sometimes and reading or playing video games.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't want my life to be average.
