* [Western Classical] Music (see below). I usually pretend I'm a music major, especially given the amount of time I dump on music, though in reality I have no interest in taking N history classes and fulfulling HASS requirements outside 21M. I even did a [http://web.mit.edu/music21 UROP] in computational musicology and atonal music. I also go to a lot of concerts, including [http://www.bso.org/brands/bso/education-community/students/bso-college-card.aspx BSO college card] concerts, so definitely let me know if you want to go sometime.

* Music (see below). I play piano in the Emerson program and MIT Chamber Music Society, co-organized the Floorpi a cappella groups over IAP 2013, and pick up a violin every now and then.
