There are not many things that I have time to do during the school term due to the huge workload that is characteristic of MIT course 6 (EE&CS) classes.

• However, I love long distance running. I used to run a great deal in high school and was actually pretty good. Now I still keep some of my high school routines and run about 4-8 miles every day, 364-5 days a year. I would often go at crazy hours, like 4 am in the morning if I did not manage to do it during the day. I love running, it is the best way for me to get away from all the school pressure and space out for a while.

• I also enjoy hiking and camping. During the summer Nick, my friend, and I managed to climb at least a dozen of major mountains in Mass and neighboring states. I love nature and think about settling down in one of the midwestern states when I have my own family.

• In the winter I try to take advantage of ice skating rink and spend some time on the ice. I am not really a good skater but I love the speed on the almost frictionless surface.

• Reading and just hacking (well, sorta) are two other activities that I truly enjoy when there is not much schoolwork.

• I also love dancing and as for someone who never belonged to any dancing team, I think that I am pretty innovative and try not to miss any opportunities to dance.

• On the more serious side, I am quite involved, well, most of the money that I have are invested in the stock market. So I do check my E*trade Portfolio quite regularly.

• I also love baking cakes, pies, and anything that has sugar. I consume large quantities of carbohydrates in that form and only my running saves me.

There are other things but who cares...
