About Alex

    I'm a student at a school that is really cool. And that is basically all that I am going to talk about in the following paragraphs. But I do go to an awesome school. Its called Mass Academy of Math and Science at WPI. They have the greatest group of kids ever assembled. that's what makes it so fun! So anyways, who am I and what do I have to do with such a great school.

    The reason this webpage is here right now is that I'm a Junior at Mass Academy and this is a requirement of the aforementioned school. So that's why you are here and why I wrote this for you. But you didn't come here for the long story, you came here to find out about me.

So let me start at the beginning:

I was born many, many years ago, in a land far, far away.........

The year was 1987; the place: City, Country, I was born on Month, Day. I grew up in Latvia and then, at the old age of one and a half, my parents take me on a crazy Euro-trip through Austria, Italy, and Rome before coming to America. Lived in New Jersey, then in Massachusetts, and then I moved to my present home in Framingham around the age of five. And that's where I live now. About a year ago, however, I decided that my school was way to close to home. So now I drive an hour everyday to get to Mass Academy

:- )

So that's the story of my life in a nut-shell. But who am I really? But I have lots of interesting traits. I'm good at math, I like to code webpages, I can solve a rubik's cube in about ninety seconds, I build and launch model rockets and I love sailing. I like golf and I like to swim, but I am good at neither. Running is definitely my favorite exercise-activity, but I hate it. Lets see...what else... I snowboard and I'm pretty good at that. I used to ski. Hmm...I mow the lawn. No wait, that's what I need to go do right now...I guess that's about it then.

But then, I really haven't told you anything about myself, because no amount of text on this webpage can really tell you who I am, or what makes me who I am. So you'll just have to meet me and find out for yourself

    Aside from enjoying long walks on the beach, (which I have not tried, but they sound fun) I'm a pretty good guy. And, since for some reason I still haven't mentioned this, my name is Alex.

UPDATE - September 17th, 2004

We just got back from a trip to Cape Cod. We went to Briarwood and had a whole bunch of fun. While there everyone got to paddle in twenty mile per hour head wind, across the lake to a privately owned island. While I thought about owning an island and how awesome that would be, I got the opportunity, nay, the privilege, to take a long walk on the beach. Let me tell you from first hand experience, that if you don't got shoes and there are rocks/shell/plants/pebbles/large rocks on the beach, you do not want to be walking on it. No matter who you are with. Because it will hurt. A lot.
