About Me:

I grew up in Iowa and went to college at the University of Chicago. I am a third year mathematics graduate student at the University of Michigan, where I am studying complex dynamics. I am also a cook, a constant nuisance to my two cats, and an avid dancer. In particular, I dance Lindy hop, blues, and Argentine tango.

One friend's prediction of my future: "She obtains a job as a mathematician at a prestigious university. She marries another mathematician. They have brilliant children whose IQ's when they are two are higher than mine at present. Eventually she has a midlife crisis and opens a very posh and successful restaurant in New Orleans."

Another friend told me: You're like quantum mechanics. On a large scale you're easily predictable, but on the smallest microscopic particle scale the most complicated quantum mechanical equations can only at best give probabilities of what you might do.
