Hey Guys!

Charlie the kitten, right after I brought
him home.
Welcome to my blog! My name is Claire Afflerbach, and I grew up in Austin, Texas with my parents and two younger siblings, Ben and Jillian. I am currently a sophomore at Trinity University in San Antonio, and this blog is an assignment for my computer science class. I am planning to major in Biology, and possibly minor in Biomathematics. After I graduate from Trinity in a couple years (hopefully!) I want to go to vet school. Over the summer, I worked at a small animal clinic in Pflugerville, Texas and ended up adopting a kitten, who we named Charlie. He's an awesome kitten, absolutely crazy, but still very sweet. I love horses and everything involved with them - just being out at the barn is aromatherapy for me, which is why I tend to live there when given the chance. As a result of this passion, or obsession, I want to specialize in equine veterinary medicine, and would love to continue riding with Trinity's Equestrian Club. I have also spent a large portion of my life playing soccer, and even though its been a couple of years, I truly miss it.

When it comes to computers, I have very little experience or natural talent. In fact, I'd consider myself technologically illiterate. I took a computer science class at Anderson High School in my junior year, but I don't feel particularly knowledgeable. Hopefully once this class is over I'll have practical skills, and I'm especially looking forward to getting more comfortable with Excel.
