Essentially assimilating as much knowledge as I can. For now I'm starting out with a double major in chemistry and computer science for undergrad.

With this, I spend a lot of my spare time in my favorite hobby of basement mad sciencing (just go with the new word). I play with interfacing lab instruments with the computer. I've been given access to a lab at school where I do essentially the same thing.

Cooking is also a fun hobby. My gustatory sense is very strong, so I eat too much.

I usually sacrifice sleep for gaining knowledge.

<AOL!>

I'm thinking of going into computational linguistics...

pardon me for askind, but I assume <AOL!> has a meaning I'm not aware of. What is it?

I also would like to know what that means.

ciacho0000, I admire your dedication. I guess I need to start drinking Cuban coffee.

Sounds like an interesting field of study cosman. Have you studied neural nets?

<AOL!> is from Usenet post-1993, it means "Me too!" and comes from the fact that AOL users posted countless "Me too!" postings.

Personally, I try to limit my sugar intake, so that it will give me an extra energy boost when I need it, par example during all-night stands or exams. That way I can avoid drinking coffee, at least until I'm 18.

I can't really avoid sugar. My tastebuds are over sensitive, so when I like something, I really like it. Most of those things, including fruit, are loaded with sugar. om nom nom nom
