Biography
Well, last year I wrote a bunch of stuff about my accomplishments (read above) and myself and my girlfriend (now x)... that was rather boring. Lets see.. as for that... I think I'm going to Caltech, This year I studied modern physics (quantum, mostly), vector calculus, and differential equations, along with random other topics. I do have a girlfriend who some of you know.
Last year's Olympiad was fun, but Spain should be better (hope I make it).. puedo hablar y escribir espaƱol bien (I can speak and write Spanish well). I like some not so competitive sports such as Frisbee (ultimate), paintball, and swimming. I have two computers along with two 19 inch viewsonic monitors. I also enjoy my massive collection of textbooks from last years camp and a few others. I recently solved a Rubik's cube in 1 minute 7 seconds in an official competition (flattened by the world champion and his 13 seconds, record 12.11). Erm.. sorry, I can't write conclusions well.
