About Me

I'm at an age where I feel I should settle on a path in many aspects of my life, most importantly career and love, but am reluctant and incapable of doing such at this point. So I let the happenings of life weave through me while I evolve little by little. Here's to delaying life with grad school. I grew up in a fairly liberal and education-focused town in Western Massachusetts and went off to college in the Big Apple to discover that not everyone shares my hippie views. I also have some pretty traditional views, coming from a Chinese family, with much importance placed on family. I am in love with music, especially classical music. It's been one of the few constants that's grown with me as I've grown. As such, playing my violin in orchestras is more than a hobby for me. I can't put it aside now... I did once and when I picked it back up, I didn't understand how I could have put it aside for so long. Where am I going in life? We'll see what is in store, but you can be sure that music and friends will be there...Other than that: Short, stocky Chinese woman (from Taiwan) who laughs when nervous, spends too much time in front of the computer, can't get enough music in her life, is scared of but believes in the unexplained, yet tries to build her life up around science and logic. However, life isn't always logical, so still trying to find equilibrium.
