I'm a senior majoring in physics and chemistry with a side helping of math looking for something to do next year that's not graduate school. I make terrible puns, teach, and fritter away time thinking and talking about science, linguistics, and TV shows.

I love to help people, and I also love teaching (obviously, these sort of go hand in hand), so I spend weekends during the summer and sometimes during the school year teaching math and physics to high schoolers. I also end up helping a lot of freshmen with their homework.

I'm generally a happier person than I appear, and I'm used to (and enjoy) wandering around taking in the world. When I'm with my friends, I'm sarcastic, occasionally funny (though more often just a source of overly complicated jokes that don't quite work), and just a little bit crude.

I have an insatiable love of learning. I've been known to take physics books out of the library and read them for pleasure, and take hard math classes just to have interesting stuff to sink my teeth into. I wish I could get paid to do this.

Also, I've listed my religion as "Agnostic, and somewhat serious about it." Somehow, this sounds paradoxical. A better summary, which is the result of a fair bit of self-reflection, is the following: I think deities probably doesn't exist, but I certainly can't be sure either way, so we might as well make the best of things on Earth.

I wish I knew. Probably going to grad school eventually, but also probably working and/or volunteering in the meantime after I graduate. My dream job would be teaching and thinking at a college somewhere.

Teaching and tutoring. I'm also fairly good at organizing things, though only when a certain amount of insanity is appreciated.

People don't really notice me at first, to be honest. I guess maybe the fact that I can't talk without waving my hands around.

Borges, Beethoven, Larry Niven, almost all Indian food, Joe Posnanski, The Beatles, The Who, green bean casserole, Schumann, Billy Joel, Tom Stoppard, Italo Calvino, a wide variety of 90s rock music that I can't keep track of

There's more that I don't realize right now. Think of this as a list in progress.

Science fiction, math, baseball, my friends, and places to wander around

That's only five, isn't it? I guess I'll tack on the internet, but I like to deceive myself into thinking I could live without it.

Physics, education, religion, and the universe. With side helpings of linguistics, things I'd like to write about, things I'm trying to write about, and bad jokes. Also how I'm going to parlay all these interests into a job.

Hanging out with friends, or doing a problem set. Or reading a book. Or, more likely, alternating between all of the above. I might be found at a party, if my friends have succeeded in dragging me there.

Something here has caught your interest, I suppose.
