Introduce Yourself!

[tpapastylianou]

Dearest Kellogian! Welcome to the family! We hope your experience at Kellogg will be a fulfilling and memorable one.
In case our lovely bar and dining room hasn't quite worked out for you just yet, why not tell us a bit about yourself here, and help us get to know you a bit better?

Hi! I'm !
It is my honour to be the IT (and ex-communications officer) for the MCR, and I hope you will enjoy the new website I've put up for you

I originally come from Cyprus (born in Australia, but no shrimp-on-the-barby action, alas). I'm currently studying for a DPhil in Biomedical Engineering (sort of, it's a "Doctoral Training programme in Healthcare Innovation" ... Oxford course names are always a mouthful ...).
Seriously. I think a committee comes together and says, "hey, what can we call this degree so we can guarantee the other person would go, 'What's that!?'"

So yeah, anyway, geek alert. But I've done a lot of things before coming here: used to be a concert pianist -- Young Musician of the Year 1998, b****es! ... (*cough*Cyprus*cough*). In fact I was so good at the piano ... that I decided to throw it all away and become a doctor instead (wait, what?) and it's all been blood and sweat since (ha! see what I did there?). Except for that year out I took to do my Computer Science masters where I played Counterstrike online with friends for, like, 24 hours straight.

Good times. Good times.

... where was I?

Hi there.
Well, I'm Harriet. I'm 25, I'm from Edinburgh and I'm the tall curly haired one always prowling around college. I am nearing the end of my second year of a part-time Master of Studies in Creative Writing. I'm currently working on my first novel, though don't ask me what it's about because it's embarrassing.

I'm up for trying just about anything. I tried being on the MCR Committee, and I liked it so much I've done it for two years. In my time year I've been on the Ball Committee, been in the choir, played croquet (ok, so that was just today), been on the Christ Church women's rowing team, been on the intercollegiate quiz team...and played about a gazillion games of Werewolves and Settlers of Catan. I'm usually down for anything, because I'm always looking for new ways to procrastinate and avoid writing my embarrassing novel.I like writing, reading, cooking, singing, making pretty posters and doing the crossword.

I am, for the next few weeks at least, the MCR Committee's President and I am always available to answer any of your questions or to offer help and guidance. I love Kellogg and I hope you will too.
