How do you spend your free time?
During my free time, I am drawn to learning different languages. I enjoy working on improving the three languages I have learned. While grammar rules are delicate in any language, I enjoy stumbling upon my different mistakes and being able to correct flaws on my own. I have found beauty in language. The way different permutations are able to be pieced together to formulate original ideas fascinates me. Through language, I have grown immensely, and I am always working on growing further.
What is the nerdiest thing you do?
I often find myself reading about different mobile applications. I gather information from already invented programs to understand the fast-developing processes of mobile application designs.
