I'm currently a student at Iowa State University. My sense of humor is pretty dry most of the time, but it becomes more surreal if I've been up for a while. I take few things seriously, but if it is something that could seriously affect my life I'm fairly devoted to it. I'm fairly good at handling criticism, taking good criticism into account and ignoring almost any insult. I moved into an apartment near campus in August. Since then, I have started to learn to how to cook, which is working out fairly well. I tend to pick things up quite easily as well; for example, with no experience I managed to assemble my own computer in January. I also hate bragging about myself because it seems rude. I also like learning, which leads to a lot of nights spent reading random articles on the internet, usually about politics, history, or some scientific topic.

Right now, I'm going to Iowa State. My major is physics with a minor in astronomy.

I'm pretty good at math, I'm good at learning new things, and I'm good at breaking things by touching them too much. Oops. I guess that means I'm too inquisitive and careless for my own good.

Staying in, talking with friends or playing a game. I'm not much of a partier.
