About Me

The name's Claire. Currently attending UC Berkeley, where I'm studying biology in hopes of going to medical school. I've also taken an interest in Asian studies because Asia is an intriguing continent when thought of as a whole and even more so when it's broken down into its component countries.
Outside of school, I have an extremely wide range of interests, so I rarely have a hard time finding topics of conversation with anyone. I can talk one hell of a lot when I'm comfortable, but often times I'm not very straightforward due to tact and paranoia o_O
I'm generally a laidback person. Somewhat tomboyish and immature in behavior and tastes. So yeah, I have some quirks, but I think they add to my charm and they make me different from other people, haha.
And I think that's sufficient information for acquaintances, stalkers, and random visitors to my MySpace. If you're a friend, there's nothing else you need to know because you probably know most of what I want you to know anyway.
