English, I know you. . . you are German with a license to kill.

I like to say I had a very varied undergraduate education. I was an English major first, and then at the end of my college career I decided I was interested in urban planning.

The whole experience I had at Brown was eye opening and the most mind-bending experience.
I like English parks.
