About Me |

You Are A Maple Tree
::There's not anyone in this world quite like you::
Last updated Jan 2008 I'm a senior biology student at Seattle University. I like to learn just about anything and I like to discuss ideas and analyze things...I like meeting new people and learning about who they are and hearing all their stories. Photo Albums: Spring Break 2008: I flew down to Oakland to meet up with my family and visit some friends of my parents in San Jose including Mike and Robin. We visited San Francisco and also went to Napa Valley (where there are awesome flowers and cool things like snakes, lizards, tadpoles, and snails). Winter Break 2007: I made hardcover books with Katie and Nat, then went on a retreat for five days. The coolest part was when I had time to go outside and look at all the slugs and mushrooms in the forest. Summer Vacation to Michigan 2007: My family visited my mom's extended family in Michigan, where she grew up. It was awesome--we saw mostly my mom's cousins and their families. Summer Visit to Idaho 2007: Adria and I visited our parents house, saw Katie and the dogs (Tilly broke her foot, *cries*) and Sid the koi, and witnessed some construction of the new garage/apartment. Seattle Summer 2007: I did research in Seattle and took these pictures of flowers in people's gardens, the cat that sleeps on my bed, the shirt I made for Katie's birthday (yeah Ros!), Adria's homecoming from Japan, etc... I also have a facebook account: |
