I was born in the Katherine Bibby hospital in Kenya, Africa, on February 25th, 1980. That makes me 19 years old, in case the math doesn't add up for you. For two years we lived in Africa. My dad was there with the Peace Corps after having graduated from Berkeley. My dad was born in Santa Monica and raised in Malibu. My mom was born in Germany, and after doing well in her language classes at school (and miserably failing all her other ones, which is why I have such incredible math abilities), she became a travel agent working in one of the game parks in Kenya, coordinating safaris for the French, Germans, Brits, and so on. They met and *BANG* there I was. We then moved to Germany for about 8 months and lived with my mom's mom. I learned to speak German there, and after that we came here to live in the U.S., where we've been ever since. I went to Monte Vista elementary school (not that anyone cares, but I figure only my friends will read this, so they'll know what I'm talking about), and then went to Santa Barbara Middle School for 7th through 9th grades. I learned all about life and friends and respect and the outdoors and then went to San Marcos High School, which I finished in June of '98. I played volleyball and soccer on the school teams, but otherwise could care less about my school. I'm going to UC Berkeley ("Berserkeley") where I am intending to double-major in Biology (CDB if anyone know what that means) and English. If I ever get out of here (which might happen sometime in the year 3000) I have N.F.C. what I will do. Maybe a teacher or a researcher or something. Or maybe a waiter at a cafe in France. Who knows? I'll find out as I go I guess.
