| About me: Hi, I'm Nathan! I'm a first year EECS major and I really enjoyed 70 and am excited to return and help out. I grew up in South Florida (a place that actually does consist of more than alligators, tourists, beaches, and old people). Since coming here, I've taken up rock climbing, because I like rocks and climbing on things (and it's awesome). Some other things I really enjoy are frisbee, puzzles, music and hiking. Some stranger things that get me unreasonably excited are bizarre polyhedra, Donkey Kong 64, and toucans! Anyway, thanks for reading this, have a good day! |
