Academics-wise, I'm on the verge of graduating high school. Haven't made my final decision for college yet because I still have one more campus tour to go on next week. I plan on majoring in psychology and possibly double majoring in something else alongside it. In terms of hobbies, I've been doing a lot of writing, songwriting, and poetry performances lately. I entered a regional poetry competition and my performance was good enough to be in the top ten. They announce our specific rankings soon so if all goes well I might get the chance to compete at the national level, but I'm not counting on it because some of the other poets I competed against were amazing.
What about you?
I'm covered in the colors pulled apart at the seams~

Ah yes, it is the time of year for college decisions. Hopefully you have lots of great options to choose from. If you find yourself in the mid-Atlantic, feel free to say hi, I know Gollymolly lives like 45min from me but I haven't seen her yet. I started PhD school for applied math this past fall and that has been going well so far. I haven't started original research yet (soon) so perhaps I will be more discouraged in a year when I'm in the thick of that. I'm not sure how much you know (or care) about current applied math topics, but I am pretty interested in machine learning (think AI). I have a pretty cool internship lined up for this summer working with natural language processing of textual data that comes from a therapy setting (which you might find cool with your interest in psych). Anyway tldr : benboy is alive and well
Poetry reading or poetry writing (or both?) I remember I tried out for poetry reading once in high school. I hadn't thought about that in years.
