{ Hello }

My name's Harris and I've been at Oberlin for a while now. I hail originally from Berkeley, California. These days I spend most of my time out here—limited not just to the school year, but most of the past two summers as well, so I have a good perspective on Oberlin when it *isn't* a college town.

I fell in love with Oberlin after I had been admitted, when I first came to see it. The students here were the friendliest, most interesting, and most open people I had met in any of my campus visits. It totally made up for the fact that there wasn't an ocean in sight.

After a long and somewhat twisted process, I decided to study the fascinating world of Mathematics. It's not something I or anyone who knew me expected when I first came to school. Outside of my math classes, I still dabble in many other subjects and hobbies.

I bake on occasion, I write, I make art, I dance (contra, swing, and various folk), I experiment with electricity, I perform in a semi-improv troupe, I take photos, and I find time on the side to follow a few TV shows regularly (House, Dollhouse, and Lost). I'm perhaps best known around campus for making Oberlin-related websites. When I'm not doing schoolwork or those other things I listed, I work for the Web Team in Oberlin's Office of Communications.

I also drink a lot of tea.

On the internet or in real life, don't be shy about saying hello. I'm sometimes quiet, but I like talking to you.
