I am a rising senior at Carleton College, a private liberal arts college in Northfield, Minnesota, which also happens to be the small town where I was born and raised. I am a Computer Science major with a concentration in Cognitive Studies, and, barring any major academic catastrophes, will graduate in June of 2007. I am particularly interested in programming/software design, web design, networks, Artificial Intelligence, and some of the linguistic and neural aspects of computer science. I am spending the summer of 2006 at Texas A&M University, participating in the Distributed Mentor Program. I spent the fall of 2005 "studying" abroad at University College Cork in Cork, Ireland. Most of my time during the school year is spent playing varsity soccer and softball for the Knights, lab assisting, waitressing at a local pizza place, coaching a youth soccer team, co-chairing the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, watching baseball and soccer, and fishing. I occasionally do homework, as well. My plans for post-graduation are, to say the least, undetermined. Currently, I am wavering between (a) returning to Ireland to "study" some more, (b) finding a job somewhere cool (ie Boston or Atlanta), (c) going to grad school somewhere in the Midwest, (d) going to grad school far, far from the Midwest, and (e) all of the above. If I ever find a five-sided coin, I'm going to take it as a sign of fate and flip away. I can be contacted at bolane@carleton.edu.
