Introduction


Yo. My name is Chelsea Lewis and I'm from Austin, Texas. I was born in Kansas City, Kansas on November 29, 1990. I'm currently a second semester freshman, though i think i officially have enough hour credits to be considered a sophomore now (thank you, AP Tests). I'm a biology major, psychology minor with my main focus being animal behavior. I'm also completely technology illiterate, hence me needed to take this particular computer class. It was (and still is) one of the main things my friends make fun of me for but let's see if we can change that. That and being a complete star trek junkie. My girl friends and I are completely obsessed with the Original Series. We even have our corresponding TOS characters. *Salute* Ensign Pavel Chekov, reporting for duty. I'm working through the Next Generation right now as well.


I went to LASA (Liberal Arts and Science Academy), and for those who go to Austin schools and don't remember, it was the magnet program associated with LBJ High School. Halfway through my 4 years, the magnet program and home school was split into 2 different schools on the same campus, causing massive amounts of confusion since the school continued sharing the athletics and band. I was in LBJ Jaguar Marching Band and concert band for all four years of high school. I was originally a clarinet player who switched to bass clarinet (non-marching, extra-low and large clarinet). However by my junior year I realized clarinet was lame (sorry fellow clarinets), and, due to the lack of brass players in general, I switched to sousaphone. And yes... That short chick in the newly recreated Trinity Stand Band that carries around the giant metal tuba. That's me. I am the tiny tuba playa. Fo shizzle.

Also during high school, i was a member of the Winterguard team. Winterguard is basically Colorguard (the guys in marching band spinning flags and guns), but in the spring, minus the band, and inside a gym. I did that for three years. I was also a part of the Model United Nations club for 2 and 1/2 years, which was a lot of fun. "Russia thinks the Cuba is full of himself, and vetoes this proposal because it sucks." Nothing like referring to yourself in third person as a country.

  1. Chelsea!
    I'm so jealous that you were/are in the band. I was in orchestra and secretly always wanted to be one of those crazy band people in the stands. It always looked so fun! And you playing the TUBA! GO BIG OR GO HOME! RIGHT? Whoop Whoop for Bio majors ;)
