Yo. Instead of writing poetically about who I am, I'll list some things which interest me. For completeness, also things that certainly will not interest me.

== Things which interest me and I deal with on a daily basis ==
+
* Math. In addition to being a math major I'm somewhat involved in high school math competitions; with [[user:jiangty | Damien Jiang]] I grade for [http://artofproblemsolving.com AoPS] and [http://usamts.org USAMTS], I've taught at [http://ideamath.org Idea Math], and have also graded various olympiads for the [http://amc.maa.org AMC], including grading at MOP. I am a also an officer on HMMT, see below.
+
* [[user:dannyshi | Danny Shi]]. If you catch me at the right time I may just be talking like him.
+
* [[Mario Kart]]. Possibly the only video game at which I ever had any level of competence (and the only video game I in which I care to gain any competence).
+
* [[Feed it | Feeding it]].
+
 
+
== Things which interest me which regrettably come up less often on hall, but which pleasantly surprise me whenever they do ==
+
* [http://web.mit.edu/hmmt HMMT]. I'm one of the problem czars for February 2013, and you should definitely let me know if you're interested in writing problems. Otherwise, if you're interested in volunteering or in any other aspect of the competition, you can let me know; I'll try to fill you in.
+
* Music (see below). Specifically western music since Bach: Performance, History, occasionally Theory. I even did a UROP in computational musicology and atonal music. Just for fun, my favorite composers: Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Schubert, Shostakovich. You might hear me blasting chamber music with my door open on hall.
+
* Sports. I'm always down for a game of badminton or basketball. I'm a Celtics and Patriots fan, nominally a Red Sox fan but over the years I've found baseball more and more boring. I would ''love'' to go to a sports game sometime in the near future.
+
* Cooking. I especially like trying new recipes provided the ingredients are reasonable.
+
* Running. Took it up relatively recently, ran a 5-miler in April, and am currently training for the Bay State Half-Marathon on 10/21/12. Let me know if you want to run sometime, though I may be less flexible in agreeing on a time/pace/distance when in the middle of training for anything.
+
* TV shows that don't suck. I've been looking for someone to marathon Friends episodes with for ages.
+
* Stupid things you can do when someone wants to pound it with you, e.g. snail.
+
* How Lexington, MA is better than wherever the hell you grew up.
+
 
+
== Things that seem to interest other people on hall but don't interest me (sorry) ==
+
* Computer Science
+
* Video Games that aren't Mario Kart
+
* All of the stupid shit people say on hall because other people say the same stupid shit on hall

I'd like to think that much of the time other hall members spend playing video games, I put in to music  (Alas, I'm guilty of both playing too much Mario Kart and sucking at it). My main instrument is and always has been piano, but I played violin in high school and occasionally can be heard sawing away on [[user:vladfi1 | Vlad's]] violin. I was an Emerson Scholar in 2011-2012, hopefully an Emerson Fellow from Fall 2012 onward, and also play in Chamber Music Society. Somewhat for my own reference, I've documented my past and future performances on piano, so as if you give a shit:

At some point this may become more than really stupid lists of information, and/or may be formatted better. Probably not soon, however.
