Interesting Facts
Last year I took a gap year and studied abroad in Beijing.
I play mellophone in DUMB.
I'm on GA's house council.
I've lived in Arkansas since I can remember. (Well I guess until now. Or really last year.)
I really like cat posters. But not actual cats.
I'm a fan of One Direction (don't hate).
I eventually want to work in the environmental field, but I don't want to work with water treatment, aka I don't want to be an environmental engineer.
If you come up and randomly tell me "Carrots are tasty," I'll bake you something because you took the time to actually read this.
And if you come up to me and tell me "Carrots are tasty," then proceed to give me something you baked, I'll be your best friend forever. ♥
Also just a suggestion: look up the pages of all of your friends (especially after this is due). It's like creeping, but even better. So many people put stuff on their Punditt pages cuz they think no one will ever read it. Muahahahahahaha.
Grand Challenges for Engineering
Experts: Solar Power Could Soon Pose Economic Threat to Electric Utilities, Mil Arcega, Voice of America, updated 7 July 2014, accessed 11 September 2014 (Make solar energy economical)
p.s. go Duke Energy based in Charlotte for being a leading "solar pioneer"

I know it seems kinda sketch that I am interested in the first two challenges listed on the page, but I hope that you trust me when I tell you that I have seriously kept tabs on these issues for about a year already....
Pronunciation
Hi, my name is Selene Spatz, pronounced suh-LEAN (like Celine Dion, but spelled different). Spatz is as if you combined the words spat and spazz into one (wow I wonder what everybody in middle school called me). It is not pronounced like spotz.
Favorite MATLAB Demo
My favorite demo was the earth topography. I just thought it was super cool that you could not only make a 2D map of the world, you could also add a topography scale, then make it spherical. Also, the code is relatively very little, which was really surprising. I don't understand the coding that is there, but I would have assumed it would have taken a lot more (especially for the 2D maps).
