About Me

Hi, I am Tianyi Ma. Second year and currently a math major student (I am attempting to transfer to computer science major). I am a Chinese international student but before I came here I lived in Boston for two years. So, first I decide to spend a few words on Boston. The downside about Boston is snow. Hugely different from Santa Barbara, winters in Boston are inhospitably cold (at least I think so) and therefore always snow a lot. Tons of snow bring snow days, which I like, but also endless shoveling, which I just hate as much. The upside about Boston is also snow because I can ski and snowboard as much as I want there during the winter. Skiing and snowboarding are both so fun that I have decided to do them every winter since I learnt them in Boston two years ago. So, thank Boston for introducing these two exhilarating sports to me.

Okay, let’s go back to myself and be relevant and really serious. I am black-haired as well as black-eyed, 5 feet 9 inches tall, 20 years old and weigh 143 pounds. I was born in Southern China. My hometown is Nanjing, 190 miles to the west of Shanghai (you must have awareness of where shanghai is approximately at in China). My favorite color is blue and favorite classic music is Pahelbel’s Canon in D (I realize that there are a lot of pop music I like and it is impossible to find out one I like the most, so I hence decide not to mention my favorite pop music). I am a guitar lover and have been playing guitar for 6 years. I started to learn playing classic guitar at first and got my level 10 proficiency certification 3 years ago. Afterwards, I gradually became interested in a disparate but budding style of guitar playing called fingerstyle which is performed by acoustic guitar but not classic guitar. So, if you play guitar also, either classic or acoustic, please feel free to get in touch with me, we can improve our skills together J.

At last, thank you for taking time reading my blog and hope we all have a good time in Writing 2.
