About Me

(Yes, I know this is the same as on my Facebook.)
The easy stuff: I play clarinet and volleyball... a lot. I've been playing both since junior high, and will continue playing them for as long as I can. I grew up in Anaheim and have followed the Ducks since the Kariya/Selanne days. I started playing soccer when I was 6, but then stopped to play roller hockey for a year. I played one last time in junior high. I started getting serious about music somewhere in my sophomore year of high school. Now I'm a music major in performance, I play in the pep band, I am a member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, I play volleyball in class and for intramural leagues, and I've started playing intramural soccer. I was a Senator for the College of the Arts for a little, and am currently a Multimedia Tech for the dorms. Outside of school I've started playing roller hockey again for fun, have started teaching clarinet lessons privately and high school sections, and I occasionally play in the California Beach Volleyball Association.
The hard stuff: I guess the biggest thing for me is dealing with consistency in everything I do. Sometimes I can be stubborn and impatient, other times I'll be one of the coolest heads in the room. I'm usually pretty organized and live a pretty simple life. I'm over being incredibly busy every minute of every day, but I still do a lot. I don't always have strong opinions and I believe it is important to be flexible. When I have made up my mind, however, it is very difficult to change it. I'm not sure what life holds ahead of me, but that's ok.

Harry Potter series, Angels and Demons, The Da Vinci Code, Farenheit 451. I haven't finished reading Catch-22

Heroes:

Batman; people who work hard and are good for the sake of being good, not to find praise.
