Liliya Gershengoren

Intro Message
Welcome! My name is Liliya Gershengoren
Personal Information
I am a psychology major and pre-med. My hobbies include reading, yoga, and drawing. Now about my hobbies... Reading-- I love Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. Mostly, I read 18th and 19th century literature, but once in a while I enjoy a 20th century novel. Recently, I finished Bleak House by Charles Dickens and would highly recommend it to anyone who has not already read it. Yoga-- Mostly meditation and personal relaxation techniques. Drawing-- I love art and I have been drawing for as long as I can remember, though I am far from great. Usually, I draw with pencil or conte crayon. Lately, however, I have been experimenting with oil pastels-- I am having a lot of fun with them.

Mental Disorders -- Psychology is fascinating, but mental disorders are simply exciting (at least for me). This site explains the brain and its disorders quite well from a psych. point of view. It also has free testing in case you want to see if you are "crazy." Enjoy!

Personal Information
As long as I can remember I've loved math. I was even a big enough of a nerd to remind my elementary school teachers to give us math homework, if they forgot. Surprisingly, after that incident, I made friends anyway. Along with my love for math, a strong liking to science, specifically physics, soon followed and now I am an engineering major. I'm planning on specifying my major to civil engineering when I switch schools in a year. Where I go, will be up to the admissions offices at various schools. But, for now it seems that I'll follow my BC engineering classmates and go to Polytechnic University. Buildings are very cool and I'll be able to make sure they stay that way.

Engineer Girl --I found this site when I first decided on engineering. It has info about women engineers, what engineering is, and different types of engineers. It also has some games and links to other useful math and science sites.
Font Identifier --My brother just showed me this and it's pretty useful. You can type in a phrase you saw written anywhere. The site will identify the font, through a series of questions. You can now use that font even though you just saw it on the street or in a magazine.
CNN --A great way to catch up on the latest news updates.
