About me
I will start with my major and
interests relating to Computer Science (I will use the common
abbreviation CS). I have always enjoyed the challenge of programming
and thinking about programs - in other words, CS. But, it took me a
long time to find my passion in
CS. Luckily, I have recently found out (after taking the elective) that
the subfield of Computer Networks is fascinating to me. And, as you
will learn, right now I am almost positive that my passion in CS
includes this subfield. But, I suspect that I might need to find a CS
companion for that subfield. More on that later.
Outside
of CS stuff, I love swimming, running around town, and
riding my bike everywhere. I like to play play bass, guitar, and also played Guitarrón
for about 8 years. About 3 of those years were in the Mariachi at Texas State
University (Mariachi Nueva Generación). Oh and by the way, Texas State University is in San Marcos, Texas. Lastly, for fun I enjoy video games,
especially RPGs. Hey, fitting stereotypes can be fun!
In
the classroom setting, I am usually a very reserved and quiet person.
But, when not in class, I tend to be pretty talkative and outgoing. I
am trying to work on the quietness in classes, though I'm not sure if
it's really a bad thing :). To find out more about how I am in an
academic setting outside of the classroom (i.e. research setting), you
can
probably get a way better picture of that from reading my weekly
journal here which chronicles my ten week summer research experience at Colorado State University.
Concerning my immediate and personal support structure, I spend some of my happiest times with my fianceé Lucy (soon-to-be wife, find out more in my weekly journal)
and our two dogs Zia and Pixie. The "puppies" as we call them are a
husky-shepherd mix and a toy poodle. Both think they are lap dogs, and
pretty much are lap dogs. Though one, which shall remain nameless, is the biggest lap dog I've seen :). |
