About Me
To start off, my name is Jenny, which in Chinese (in case you want to know) is 杰妮.
I am a proud undergraduate student of the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University Class of 2015 and am one of the most typical Asian (specifically Chinese) females that you can find. I plan to major in Biomedical Engineering on a Pre-Health track, but if it's possible, I am also considering a second major in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Like all other Duke freshmen, I live on East Campus, but specifically, I live in G.A. with the best roommate ever!
Have fun looking at this awesome signature that I got from my instructor's site:

Current Classes
I'm hoping I didn't flood my first semester of freshman year with too many hard classes, but this is what I'll be taking for Fall 2011:
CHEM 43L - Honors Chemistry
- Lecture Sec 001 - Michael Therien
- Recitation Sec 21R - Christopher Roy
- Lab Sec 411 - Lynne Hyman
EGR 53L - Comp Meth in Engineering xD
- Lecture Sec 003 - Michael Gustafson aka DukeEgr93
- Lab Sec 02 - Michael Gustafson
MATH 103 - Multivariable Calculus
- Lecture Sec 10 - Nathan Totz
PSY 11 - Introductory Psychology
- Lecture 02 - Angela Vieth
So if there is anyone in any of my classes and wants to get together to study or do something within reason, I'd be happy to. :)

The Grand Challenges for Engineering are a set of 14 goals identified by the National Academy of Engineering through a poll of technology experts as the most pressing and significant of our time.[1] A couple of the 14 Challenges are listed below. Article relating to them are posted as well:
Engingering Better Medicine
- Grove Backs an Engineer’s Approach to Medicine, Andrew Pollack, New York Times, created 17 May 2010, accessed 3 September 2011 (Grand Challenge)
Make Solar Energy Economical
- Pay for the Power, Not the Panels, Peter Maloney, New York Times, created 26 March 2008, accessed 3 September 2011 (Grand Challenge)
Interests
I am a HUGE fan of k-pop. My favorite groups thus far are Super Junior, B2ST, and SISTAR. I've also played the piano for at least 10 years, but since I haven't been practicing recently, I can probably only crank out a few notes.
As for sports, I have zero ability to aim a ball, but I can at least hit or throw one. I like to play ping pong and ice skate. Since the ping pong table in G.A. is gone, if there's anybody in a dorm close by and wants to play a friendly game on your table, I'd be happy to play.
