Greetings everyone, my name is Yu Zhang. I'm a Junior at UNC this year and I am still majoring in Chemistry(BS). Yes, I do mean "still." There were times I had thought that maybe I should change to something else, but I ended up sticking to it for better or for worse. Anyway, I actually happen to enjoy English literature quite a bit. English was one of the majors I was actually considering during freshman year, but keep this a secret from some of the other hardcore Chemistry Majors who think English is a major waste of time. Anyway my favorite author is still Ernest Hemingway. There is just something about those short stories of his that really pulls me in.
Um hobbies wise well, I do enjoy playing basketball a lot. Whenever there's time between classes you'll often see me at rams rec center playing some ball. All the other time that is left this semester will be devoted to P.chem, intermediate inorganic, and Biochem most likely. Oh and Africa 101 + Engl 123 as well. Ah, also I work in a lab that focuses on radiation induced lung injury in mice/rats. I've had to inject mice with radio-protective drugs, sacrifice & harvest the lungs of mice, stain sectioned paraffin embedded mice lung tissue for various molecular markers, and other tasks. Of course I was bitten quite a bit when I first started to work with mice, but once you get used to handling mice you wont get bitten as much. Um...I haven't worked with rats yet but I do know they are HUGE and require chain mail gloves to handle, in case you get bitten...
Oh and I sure hope UNC's Men's Basketball will do better than last year. NIT run was commendable but it doesn't make up for how bad the team was pretty much the entire season. Good luck this year though.
