The math guy's introduction

Hi everybody. I'll try to keep this short, but I doubt it will be.

I guess I should probably introduce myself as well. I'm the one with glasses, short dark brown hair, and I've walked in late at least once a week so far (I'm trying to get better with that, I swear). Obivously, having somebody with my background is a bit odd. Let's face it, math majors spend most of their time doing homework or working on a program that will crack some impossible theorem that nobody outside the math department has ever heard of. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I hate programming, so I don't exactly fit the mold of my own department either.

So, let's move on to something more substantial about me. I'm a bit of a gaming nerd. By a bit, I mean I'd play them for 6 or 7 hours a day if I didn't have other things to do. None of WOW or any other online RPG though, I'd rather pay for a game once then pay monthly. I'm a Futurama and Family Guy fan, but the show's steadily getting worse (they started losing it in the third season, but there are still flashes of brilliance). As for music, I like rock, but I can be fairly picky. As in, I listen to Crossfade, Hinder, Three Days Grace, Hoobastank, and a bunch of others, but I can't stand the Red Hot Chilli Peppers or the Foo Fighters. It's weird, yes.

Oh, shameless plug for an RSO. I'm a member of the UMass Shotokan Karate Club. Our website is here but it hasn't been updated for a while. If anyone's interested in training, let me know, I'll go through a little explanation of when/where we train and such.

Now that that's out of the way, I can (breifly, I hope) explain why the hell I'm in this class. I've been writing on and off since the start of high school. Through all that time, I only have 4 stories I'm will to admit exist (only one of which is even remotely worth reading), and a bunch of dicarded ideas that couldn't get off the ground. All of these are fairly long (25+ pages, single spaced), which is probably carrying over from the fact that I played Final Fantasy a lot. I still do, which probably doesn't help the process.

Well, I think my ramblings have taken up enough space for now. I'll see you guys in class. Who knows? Maybe I'll be on time.
