Well... I hate writing bios, I'll probably never write an autobiography because when I write about myself I'm also afraid of not being modest enough, or forgetting to give someone else credit, or something.
Anyway, I love Maths and Physics, and I want to be an astronaut one day, or at the very least work for NASA. My list of Colleges as of now are:
Hopefully the last two won't have to be thought of at all. I have a brother who's at UGA right now, and a cousin at University of Arizona who is 25th in the country or so in running right now (given her division and gender and whatnot, I assume).
Anyway, back to my love: Maths. I got a 790 on the SAT in the maths section, which made me really mad because the two that I missed were due to absently bubbling in the wrong blank and misinterpretation ("even" evidently is not the same thing as "eleven"). Anywho, I'm 13th in my county right now in Math team, and I was one out of two in my school to qualify to take the AIME, which is this really big national math competition. I'm also being considered bor a 6 week summer program that basically imitates college where I'll get to learn about math and another subject of my choice (probably art or physics).
As for physics, I'm not quite as accomplished. In Science Olympiad, though, I have won the Physics Lab section in the 2 two competitions I've been to, along with my friend Sarang.
Despite being a "science" person, I also enjoy writing a lot, and I like to think I'm a pretty good thespian, having participated in OM (Odyssey of the Mind) for 8 years now. I also love art, and hope to set up a studio in my house, when I get one.
Well, I guess that paints a pretty accurate picture of me, even if it does nothing to describe my disorganization and chronic mistreatment of those close to me. I tend to be extremely nice to strangers, and exploit those whom I consider good friends because I trust them. It's... a bad habit.
