Picture of Chinua "Chewy" Shaw

Brief Biographical Sketch:

You can call me Chewy
I am a person who loves to have fun.
I am a strongly devout Christian, my beliefs are very important to me.
I love Computer Science and feel a thrill from problem solving.
I am also an actor and have been in several shows on campus.
As my picture shows, I love to climb trees and do exciting things. I love to make new friends.
I love to solve puzzles and play intellectual games.
I drink tea not coffee because coffee is disgusting and I don't feel right with something that I would have to smother with sugar to make it taste decent.
I have never lost my curiosity for everything I come in contact with.
I play real live Quidditch for the MIT Marauders (our Quidditch team).
I can't wait to meet you :)
