about me

I'm a 16-yr-old student currently studying physics at Michigan State University. I'm still a freshman, & Fall '08 is just my 2^nd semester.

I'm an international student, born in China and lived in Botswana for over half my educational life (so far). Although I lived my infantile youth in China, my primary and secondary education were mostly achieved in Botswana. Two of my vague educational milestones are: IGCSE in 2006 and AS-Level in 2007 (bio, chem, physics, & math). Right after that, I switched to the US education system & begin my college studies.

My interests are somewhat varied, but not so diverse. Despite being a boy, I don't find any form of interest towards sports or cars. Instead, I'm a geek with a fondness for computing, surfing the web, scratching my head over exotic math, & investigating sciencey-stuff. I'm also an pseudo-amateur pianist, with Joplin & Debussy being my favorite composers - so if you ask me what kind of music I like, my hesitant reply would be "classical music".

This blog is my main presence on the web. It's a place to spill random thoughts and occasionally I use it as a place to write my memories. As much as I wanted to initially, I find it extraordinarily difficult to focus on a single topic and to even talk serious about any particular topic - perhaps it's just my writing style or something. Regarding my views, I would like to emphasize that I now consider myself a skeptic.

If you ever want to contact me, just send me an email - and under normal conditions, I should be able to reply within a day or two.
