I'm a long time HN reader. You are a story about a new? college - in california? We met about 3 years ago.
You're kinda liberal-artsy: critical thinking and writing, but geeky, too, with skills in stats and systems theory. You're petite and selective. And of course you're well-travelled - everyone does a year abroad, I think.
Hit me back if you remember me. Or if you remember the story, Or recognize the college.
