WHERE DID YOU GROW UP? WHAT WAS YOUR PATH TO CAL?

I was born in San Jose and moved to Fremont during 
second grade. I attended Mission San Jose High School and 
decided to follow in my brother's footsteps to the
LAND OF THE GOLDEN BEARS, although honestly, I had no 
idea what I wanted as a major. However, I knew what I 
did not want to do, so I narrowed my choices and took a 
myriad of classes during my first semester, one of which
was CS3! The awesomeness of the class persuaded me to 
become a CS major, and, well, we'll see what happens 
afterwards :)

 
HOW MUCH PROGRAMMING HAVE YOU DONE (& WHAT LANGUAGES)?

In high school, I created cool little programs on my
TI-83+ (which is probably outdated now) for SAT problems.

Since then, I have learned Java, C, Python, VBScript, and
some other languages. I think I'll be focusing on Java
as my primary programming language of choice and Python as 
my scripting language of choice.

 
WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?

CAL football, guitar, piano, and spending a little too much time
on Smash Brothers. I used to play a ton of video games (all of the FFs,
Diablo II, Starcraft, Warcraft III ROC, Tekken 5, etc...), but recently
my interests have started shifting to other things, like figuring out
what I want to do for the rest of my life :P
 
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR TALENTS & SKILLS?

I've played the piano for several years now, and I decided to 
learn the guitar during my freshman year of college. I'm not 
particularly good at either instrument because I don't practice 
enough, but they're still fun nonetheless.
 
HAVE YOU DONE ANYTHING REMARKABLE? HAS ANYTHING MEMORABLE HAPPENED TO YOU?

I shouted "GO BEARS!" in Dan's 61c lecture before, and he got pumped up
enough to make one side of the room shout "GO!" and the other side shout
"BEARS!" for three iterations. It's somewhere on webcast, which is great for
(pre|re)viewing courses. It's _not_ a good substitute for going to lecture,
though!

WHAT COMMITMENTS WILL BE CONSUMING YOUR CYCLES THIS SEMESTER?

Since this is my last semester at Berkeley, I'm taking a lighter load of courses
and focusing more of my energy on figuring out what to do after I graduate. I plan
to study Artificial Intelligence in graduate school immediately after I attain
my undergraduate degree, but I also have an interest in Computer Security.
I'll also be looking for an internship and spending a lot of time in
hibernate mode.
