Hi!

Nothing that interesting to say about myself, really. But...

Stuff

If you're curious and want a little bit about me (and my CTY experience), here goes.

How I ended up doing CTY: I heard about CTY a few times in middle school, but since I was in a bit of a "I hate the world" depressive state at the time, I ignored it and any other promise of stuff to do with other people. Finally this year I rediscovered it on my own, and with a little research (and the prompting of my CTYer friend (thank you again so so so much Cindy)) decided that it'd be worth a shot. I decided to give it a shot in January, three days before the SAT, then scrambled to make sure I could still do the January test date. I managed (barely), and then had an...interesting experience getting the scores to JHU (we ended up faxing a screen shot of the page with the scores. Like I said). Anyway, back on topic. From there I ended up getting in.

I got my one and only session at a real site at SAR.09.1. I was in Logic B. I may, however, be doing Princeton next year and maybe the year after. My one year was pretty incredible, but that goes without saying, I think. I met some pretty amazing people, and I miss it. That's about all that needs to be said.

Me: Um, as you may have noticed, I'm not so great at the whole "staying on topic" thing. I'm pretty random and ADD sometimes, which at home gets me weird looks, and at CTY was about par for the course :D I'm pretty friendly even though I'm not that social usually.

What else? I'm a science and a languages kid (I can do math, but it's not fun for me). I LOVE the really conceptual sciences, and I love to write, which sometimes makes for an odd combination, but it's also usually interesting. I'm a drummer, which adds another odd spin to the whole thing too.

Stuff I like

The stars! (I miss seeing them :( )

Science! All of it :)

Music! (Just about every style really, although especially the various forms of alternative. Jazz mostly just to play, though, not to listen to)

Writing! (It's my release valve. My most whiny stuff gets written into stories and that way I get over it. Plus when I need to escape, I can make up a world and write about it so I don't have to think about this one. It helps)

Singing! (I can't sing, at all. But it's fun to do anyway :) )

And last but not least...FRIENDS! People who'll actually listen to me when I need someone to listen to me are pretty awesome.

Anyway...

Ok, none of you are actually interested in reading this, but I was bored =P
