I live in Tucson, where it's really, really hot and a lot of people pay attention to astronomy. I'm currently studying computer engineering at the University of Arizona with minors in math, electrical engineering, and computer science, all of which I can obtain with virtually no extra effort. (I'll probably switch to a double major, it's only 5 more classes!) When I'm not doing school-related stuff, I'm reading, drawing, working on websites, or possibly biking/running.

I dig fantasy and sci-fi books and games over all other random genres. I'll play almost any videogame that's not made by EA. I want an Xbox360...very badly.

The familial unit consists of my parents, three sisters, and a brother. I've got 2 dogs ♥
