A little cloud of my own...

UPDATE: I graduated from UC Berkeley in May 2001. I'm currently working Mountain View, across Highway 101 from Moffett Field. Wave if you drive by.

I'm an aspiring molecular/cellular biology major. Fall 1997 semester is long over, with these courses completed: Chemistry 1A, Anthropology 2: Intro to Archaeology, Comparative Literature 1B, and Slavic Literature 39E. The Spring 1998 semester consisted of Chemistry 3A, Math 1A, Classics 28: Classical Mythology, and a Womens Studies seminar. I was also the course assistant for the Computer Science 39C seminar this spring.

I'm really enjoying the dorm experience for all of three reasons: I'm on the network! (woohoo, no more 14.4 modem for me!); it's a 5 minute walk to my classes (compared to a 45 minute commute from home); and DORM FOOD! (no, I really am kidding about this last one...) I don't think I'm ready for an apartment. I'm still enjoying the sheltered lifestyle of a dorm dweller.

Cal, otherwise known as the University of California, Berkeley, is a fabulous school. I bet you already knew that. It's located in a small urban city, but if you're the type of person who can't live without your weekly walk in the wilderness, don't worry. Tilden Regional Park is situated on the northeast side of campus, behind the football stadium, and is easily reachable via shuttle. It's a large park, great for biking and hiking. There's a botanical garden, lake, carousel, train ride, and more. I definitely recommend Inspiration Point for a nice view of the Bay Area. Be sure to check it out while you're up there! If you have any questions about this wonderful ;) school, feel free to email and ask!

What do I like to do?

• play the piano and violin
• listen to music - my favorite band is Nine Inch Nails
• read science fiction, fantasy, horror, fiction, you name it :)
• read magazines
• fiddle around with my computer - you can find me on IRC and ICQ
• watch all kinds of movies
• stay up late and just listen to the silence
• sleep in after staying up late and not feel guilty
• Eat at different restaurants, but my favorite is Italian!
• go to museums and stare at exhibits
• drive around aimlessly, and gaze at the pretty houses
• procrastinate (well, maybe I don't *like* to do it..but it still happens)
• make a list of things to do, and then not do them (not purposely, of course)
• wake up to the smell of brownies
• go to theme parks with my friends

• grey wolves
• beach scenes, especially those with sunsets, lighthouses, or waves crashing up on rocks
• butterflies (nah, really? ;) )
• calendars, I want to plaster my room with them (I think I'm a little obsessed with time)
• Impressionist paintings, especially Renoir's "Picking Flowers"
• warm, fuzzy slippers
• that warm, fuzzy feeling
• myths, legends, and fairy tales
• eating chocolate
• traveling
• waterfalls
• castles!!! My favorite is the famous and hard-to-find-a-photo-of Neuschwanstein Castle, located in Bavaria.
• getting hugs for no reason at all
• sun, moon, and stars -- the celestial bodies in the sky, but the perfume is nice too
• astrology, horoscopes, fortunetelling, and anything related
• my computer, it's a hard working little Pentium Pro
• the color blue! Nope, no link. Have you ever tried to search for "blue" on Yahoo? I recommend you don't.
• the X-Files! I'm addicted to this show and its characters/actors. Anyone want to give me an autographed photo of David Duchovny?
• the new Volkswagon Beetle Yeah, I know it's not as good or as cute as the original, but I still like it. It's a little bubble.

  Ooh, look at these! I wonder where they go...
