About Me
I am currently a freshman at Duke University who plans on pursuing engineering, though undecided on which kind. Outside of school, I love to dance ballet but also enjoy trying out other forms of dance like contemporary, jazz, and ballroom dancing. However in spite of the ballerina stereotype, I eat more food than anyone else you know. That is a fact. Other that that, I am extremely weird and random person and will probably constantly surprise you. Sometimes in a somewhat scary but hilarious way...
Things That I Like
- Le Petit Prince
- Little Miss Sunshine
- Trees and climbing trees
- Going on facebook when I'm supposed to be doing homework (kinda.. I don't like it as much once I have to start doing my homework)
- People who laugh whenever I make Harry Potter allusions
- People who think I'm funny
- Russian Literature
- That "Ah-HAH" moment when you figure something out
- Fast and pretty cars
- Ballet music
- Avenged Sevenfold
- Frederic Chopin
- Being organized
- Having things organized without having to organize them..
- DARIA!!
- Vans checked slip-on shoes
- Collecting philosophical quotes
- Amelie and the music from that movie
- Listening to awesome pianists and wishing I still played the piano.. GRR.
How To Say My Name
Jessica is easy to pronounce. Cao is a little harder. Mostly because I myself haven't been pronouncing it correctly until last year. I used to say "Kay-Oh" but it's actually "Ciao" but with a Chinese accent. Cao is actually one syllable, though the emphasis is on the "C," so it should all sound more like "Tchow."
My Favorite MATLAB Demonstration
I really like doing all the demos, and looking through all of the picture entries in the gallery was fun. But my favorite part was the "3-D Drawing" Demo, mostly because it was an interactive demo and involved more input from me than did the mathematics sections. It was also fun to see if the picture that I visualized in my mind before seeing the object would be the same as the resulting vase. It was a mini-review of calculus revolution around the axis! But the gallery entries too were interesting because in my math class, we're starting to draw structures. They're not as complicated, but it made me wonder what mathematical formulas would have resulted in that structure.
