WHERE DID YOU GROW UP? WHAT WAS YOUR PATH TO CAL?

You know the story “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” (alt. “If You Give a Pig a Pancake”)? I’m that mouse, and I grew up in that house. Give me a little something, and I’m always wanting more. Likewise, tell me as a five-year-old that I’m good counting colorful bears, and I’ll end up studying the natures of value and consciousness here at Cal, without really thinking much about all the steps in the middle.

HOW MUCH PROGRAMMING HAVE YOU DONE (& WHAT LANGUAGES)?

I’ve gotten through 61A, so not much, though I’m working on 61B’s work this summer to prepare for next semester, just for funsies uwu

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?

Screenshotting every precious image of Nishinoya Yuu from Haikyuu!!. I love him and he deserves everything. Take all my money, Furudate sensei.

Sometimes, I sew. I’m also very !! fond of !! Korean music !! Please talk to me about it !! I’m trying to get back into reading, but my brain is allergic to hardship.

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR TALENTS & SKILLS?

I’ve found that 1/1 of my surveyed friends think I have no talents/skills at all. (They say I might be good at grading for CS10, but who knows.)

Oh, I can, after consuming certain foods, produce hyper-viscous saliva, and blow bubbles several inches in diameter.

Being a long-time Korean music fan (half my life now!)… I can name over 200 groups and well over a thousand individual artists… so that’s… that. (me@me: weird flex but okay…) I have a folder full of reaction images that I use on the regular.

HAVE YOU DONE ANYTHING REMARKABLE? HAS ANYTHING MEMORABLE HAPPENED TO YOU?

At the end of freshman year here, in one of my clubs, I was voted the Flirt Crown. Somehow, the image of me as something like a wolf in sheep’s clothing got really popular, and I haven’t been able to shake it. Is it an accurate one? You’ll have to get to know me to find out uwu

I’ve met many wonderful people who have, in their own unique and vibrant ways, made my heart flutter. I am so thankful for their existences, which have each individually improved the quality of my life. I think each and every one of these is a remarkable occurrence.

WHAT COMMITMENTS WILL BE CONSUMING YOUR CYCLES THIS SEMESTER?

I’m always, every season of the year, rain or shine, fully committed to supporting my sweet, wonderful, pure and deserving Korean-speaking idols… sobbu….

Other than that, I’m working part-time at Buffalo Exchange on Telegraph! Trying to read more books too! That’s about it!
