The bizarre life of an awkward optimist

Things that define me include being a coffee addict, a close relative of Cookie Monster and a lover of Linux. I hail from France, or 6000km... I mean, ahum, 4000 miles away from Boston, and as a stereotypical French girl I am in love with baguettes and cheese.  I'm a proud member of the Class of 2019, having applied Early Decision I, and hope to survive being pre-med at Tufts without turning into a giant potato.
I blame my dad for making me a New York Mets fan, and love him for teaching me the art of undyingly loving the New England Patriots. I've seen every episode of every series of Star Trek, rep Ravenclaw on Pottermore and have a stuffed Volkswagen Beetle. And of course, my spirit animal is the elephant, but around here, that goes without saying.
