About Me

So, you want to know a little bit about me, huh? Well for starters, my name is Rebecca Flannery (in case you didn't already know). I am from Houston and have lived there all of my life. During the school year I move to College Station, Texas, which is where Texas A&M University is located. I am a computer science major and will be starting my second year as a senior this fall.

Want to see my webpage for school? The computer science department moved it recently to http://students.cs.tamu.edu/rlf1660/. And if you want to e-mail me, you can reach me at rebecca-f@tamu.edu. Of course, these links will probably stop working shortly after I graduate in May 2003.

What do I like to do, you ask? Boy, you sure are inquisitive! (Just kidding.) Well, if you really want to know, here is a list of some of the things I'm interested in:

Computer Science - I am especially interested in computer graphics, though which specific areas I'm not sure. I have been leaning towards physically based modeling and scientific vizualization.
Music - Music is a really big part of my life. If I'm not listening to a radio, CD, or MP3s, then I usually have a song in my head. My favorite kinds of music are rock, pop, and classical. Actually I like almost all kinds of music except for country and rap.
Performing Arts - I love to go see musicals, opera, and ballet; basically stuff where people sing and/or dance. I like to sing and dance, too, but I'm not especially good at it.
Reading - Reading used to be my favorite activity. As I progressed through school, more and more of my free reading time got converted to homework time. Nowadays, I still do homework, and I surf the internet a lot, but I manage to squeeze in a book or magazine here and there.
Puzzles - Ahh, puzzles. Puzzles, puzzles, puzzles. What can I say? I love 'em. My favorite kinds are word puzzles, like crosswords, and anagrams, and word games, like Scrabble and Boggle. I also like jigsaw puzzles, brain teasers, and those tricky puzzles where you have to figure out how to take the pieces apart and then figure out how to put them back together again.
