Azelma, we should start a club that hosts intellectual tea parties for Central Californians. Just to play off stereotypes, we should headquarter these elitist gatherings near a trailer adorned with a confederate flag.

Major: Environmental Engineering (subject to change to Environmental Science)
Location: Los Angeles
State / Country: CA
School Type: Public
Ethnicity: Asian
Gender: F
Activities/Hobbies: Rock (Japanese/American), guitar & drums (neither of which I'm proficient in), DrumMania, tennis, snowboarding (only gone once but can't wait for a second trip)

Maybe I'm alone in this or there's already something like this existing...
but after reading what letitsnow said, I think it'd be nice to have these kinds of posts put into some dorm-mate finder system so we could match compatible interests and whatnot.

And anyone up for attending shows together in the Bay Area?

Kultur Wolf: Definitely. But why stop at the flag? I could certainly track down a confederate flag rug, and maybe some curtains for the trailer. We could all pretend to be related as well. Man, would we be popular. :P

Just for all those keeping track:

11 males
11 females
13 Asians (14 if you include Indian)
5 Caucasians (6 if you include Jewish)
1 Mexican American
1 Jewish American
1 Indian
0 African Americans
3 Northern Californians (4 if you include Sacramento)
3 Central Californians (4 if you include Sacramento)
10 Southern Californians
2 Out-of-State
2 International Students
1 Unlisted location
7 prospective biology / MCB / pre-med / public health majors
6 prospective Econ / pre-business majors
8 prospective physical sciences / engineering majors
7 prospective art / humanities / social science majors
1 prospective architecture major

Some of these don't add up because of unlisted information and double-majoring. Also, I'm sure this is more indicative of the College Confidential crowd than it is of the Berkeley campus. It's also not entirely scientific.
