My name is Aryn Banovic and I just
turned 22 this week. I am a janitor at MIT and sometimes I solve algebraic
graph theory problems on the chalk boards in the hall that no one else can seem
to solve. Some people may say I am a genius. Oh and my best friend is Ben
Affleck. Just kidding just thought I would throw a little fiction in and many
of you may have noticed, but that was a line from Step Brothers, which is one
of my favorite movies. As you get to know me, you may notice that I thoroughly
enjoy quoting movies and what not so feel free to tell me if it gets annoying.
Anyhow, that's me on the right with
my roommate and dog Joshua Bernard (it's a long story on how he received his
name) at Palo Duro canyon. I love camping, biking, running, and everything
outdoors. I was born in Dallas Texas but was raised in Austin Texas since I was
very young after my parents divorced; and I am not a hippie, just environmentally
conscious! I grew up with an older brother by 4 years, Alex, and later was
blessed with a half- sister, Sydney, who is now 9 and lives with my father in
Houston.
I followed my older brother here to
Tech when I graduated from Westwood High School in 2008. I am majoring in
biology, pre-pharmacy, with a double minor in Spanish and chemistry. I was
suppose to graduate this may, however, I decided to study abroad in Seville,
Spain which put me a semester behind in my biological studies. Therefore, I
will be graduating in December. Woot woot! If you ever get the chance to study
abroad I would definitely recommend it! I can safely say it was the best
semester of my life. Anyway, after college I plan on moving back to Austin,
studying for my PCAT, and applying to pharmacy school.
I look forward to this semester and
getting to know each and every one of you!
Aryn,
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome quote from such an awesome movie! I love Step Brothers, as well. I wish I had the ability to fight the financial obligation and go study abroad! I think that would be a great way to learn, especially if you're taking another language.I'm looking forward to meeting you as well.

ReplyDeleteHi Aryn,
ReplyDeleteOur hometowns are so close, I love Austin. I have always wanted to study abroad and I am so glad you enjoyed your experience in Spain. I plan on looking into taking Spanish in Spain, and I would love to talk to you about it! I'm excited to get to work with you this semester!

Aryn,
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started reading your post I really thought you were a janitor at MIT, but then I caught on. I love that movie, and Step Brothers! Both are great. My roommate just studied abroad in Spain this summer and loved it. I am considering studying abroad, myself! I look forward to getting to know you this semester!

Hehehe....so many of my friends are movie quoters. Sometimes it can really liven up a dull moment. I would LOVE to study abroad in Seville, and have look into it briefly. Maybe you can give a few pointers? Funny thing, I also have a very good friend who is a pre pharmacy major, after all it is one of the best professions in our country right now. Well, I look forward to getting familiar with your antics, and good luck!

I love your photo! And your dog. I bike with my parents in Palo Duro when I go visit them in Amarillo.
