39-29-37 and all the other more important details
I am currently a first-year student at Oberlin College in Oberlin, OH. Oberlin is a town about half an hour's drive from Cleveland that nobody has ever heard of except through the college. I am a triple major in Comparative Literature, English Literature, and Spanish. I also study both the violin and the flute, write for the bilingual newspaper (Voces), and cheerlead. Life is really busy most of the time, especially since I have just undertaken the task of writing a semi-fictional account of my life and what little time I have leftover after academics is filled with reading, writing, knitting, hanging out with my friends here, or chatting with my friends back home!
Before I came to Oberlin, I attended the International Baccalaureate Program at Eastside High School in Gainesville, FL. I really loved IB and am greatly indebted to my many teachers for all the knowledge that they gave me! It is helping me so much here at college. While at Eastside, I was a member of various organizations such as the National Honour Society, La Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica, and the Spanish competition team. I also managed to convince one half of my graduating class that I was completely crazy and the other half that I was annoying, both cases stemming from my academic motivation and my love of learning!
Other than my academic activities in high school, I played violin and flute, was a member of the Alachua County Youth Orchestra, a member of and soloist with the Gainesville Youth String Orchestra, sang in the choir at Trinity United Methodist Church (TUMC), worked as a preschool teacher at TUMC, and did a myriad of other things that would just bore you even more for me to list!
All in all, I think that it is fair for me to say that, although I am sometimes referred to as a "hermit" and a "fun-killer" because I spend a lot of time in my room alone working and reading, I am a generally fun person to be with. My friends all think me in need of psychiatric help, but hey! I got dismissed from therapy just last week. Life is a pretty bright prospect, despite momentary lapses of darkness and depression. But, the sun will always rise on a new day and if it doesn't, well then, we will all have more serious problems than those emotional crises which seem to rule our lives . . .
