About Me

Alicia
Diotima

I am a 3rd year biological sciences major, music minor at UC Davis. I miss my friends and family back in Sparks, Nevada terribly. I love anything sciency, especially animal biology and genetics. I like food, cooking, and anything tasty, I'm completely non-confrontational and a huge nerd, I've listened to "transatlanticism" too many times to count, I'm slightly obsessive compulsive (hand washing is good) and kind of a perfectionist, purple relaxes me, I have a weakness for drummers and am way excited that the cavaliers are doing billy joel this year, I want to travel everywhere, and I really want to learn to scuba dive, speak spanish, play the sitar, and play the cello. check out my orchestra profile .
