Blue Devil of [http://www.duke.edu Duke University]. Class of 2014. Third floor of Alspaugh.
Intended BME major with a dual in CE .. but we'll see how that goes.

===iLike===
I love smiles, daisies, and the rain. I also like using parentheses (like these) to add in other such comments that may or may not pertain to the sentence, but most of the time they are relevant. (I think.)

===iDislike===
I can't stand eating whole tomatoes with a passion (and will avoid them at all costs), but I'm fine with ketchup, spaghetti/pizza sauce, and tomatoes in soup.

[[Biography]]
My name is Lucas Talavan-Becker, and I'm from South San Francisco, CA. I attended a Jesuit high school called St. Ignatius College preparatory.

[[High School]]
In high school, I ran cross country and track for three years, played soccer for two years, and danced hip hop since I was eleven. If you would like to see me dance, here's a URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmmgtyfFirQ. I start farthest to the right.

[[Duke University]]
At Duke University, I run for the Varsity cross country team, and I'm majoring in civil engineering.
