Hi! My name is Bergit, but I'm somewhat-generally called "Bee" at CTY.

You call me "Beer-jeet", you die. I took Astronomy in 2005.2, Math Logic in 2006.2, and Cog Psych in 2007,2 (my no-more year). I also took crafting the essay via email. I'm not a particularly good singer, but I do like to sing. A lot. So if you've ever seen a really short girl singing somewhat awkward songs... yeah... that was probably me.
