5th Year Senior

I am taking this class because it's a class I felt would be highly interesting and it fit in very well with my graduation plans. Human Computer Interaction means anything from me typing this up to Star Trek level interaction, and both are highly intriguing topics.

I am for the most part a hardware guy, however I greatly enjoy the algorithms and abstract programming.

10 years from now I am hoping to be in a management position in an engineering firm somewhere.

If Microsoft could make an operating system that did not eat up my hard disk every few weeks, I think that would be a HUGE leap in computer science.

Given the opportunity, I feel Edgar Allan Poe would be an extremely interesting person to talk to. His ability to come up with twisted, horrifying tales whilst maintaining a sense of reality was exceptional. To know what drove that, and what it took to do that would be fascinating to me.

My favourite shoes are my running shoes. They're grey, light, breathe extremely well. They're my favourite shoes because I enjoy running, or athletic activity in general and they allow me to do what I enjoy.

I would like to be able to speak and read fluent Russian. I've always found the Russian language and culture incredibly intriguing, and there are so many fantastic plays, poems and novels written in Russian and I would like the ability to read them without having to worry about things being lost in translation.

I am Indian, I sound like an odd cross between an Australian, an Irishman, an Englishman and occasionally a Scotsman.
