Hello. The mad mad mind behind this page is yours truly, Zhiling. I'm currently a sophomore here at Swarthmore College. Ah college life* can be a pain and a joy. I plan on declaring myself a Bio/Chinese double major this year, woohoo. My home lies in the middle of the mitten Alma, Michigan. In my spare time (ah the good ole days) I like to mess around on the piano, read, starwatch, web-publish/surf, go to the movies, and I also have a meager little rock collection I try to keepup with. Latests, interests are sleeping and finding time to goof off between classes, lab, and homework.
