hi and welcome to my about page! i don't really know what to say here.
in my personal life, i'm a psychology major in college. though i aspire to become either a cardiologist or neurologist. i've had an interest in medicine since i was young (as in, i was reading medical books as a toddler), and the human body has always fascinated me. that being said, i wasn't sure on what specific field i wanted to go into until a few years ago.
i was too unstoppable on my own, so when i as 16, god decided to smite me with disability (well, it was always there, it just got way worse) to nerf my character. so now i'm like 20 going on 85. at any rate, i have a lot of things wrong with mme, and only one doctor (my awesome cardiologist) ever figured any of them out, so i had to take matters into my hands. as such, i've done a lot of research in the past 5 years, and in that time, i've become fascinated with those specific organ systems.
but of course, i'm not just majoring in psychology on a whim... i'm just as interested in the mental side of the human body as i am the physiological. if anything, i think having a good understand of both is crucial for any doctor. and interesting.
i've been coding since 2015 technically, but back then, my experience was limited to editing my tumblr theme, lol. in 2020, i got super obsessed with carrd, and eventually, just started coding half the site myself, so i decided to make this website.
i started it in 2021 or so, and back then, it was kinda... really bad. although i was comfortable coding my own little things here and there on carrd, i didn't know how to write the whole thing from scratch, so i had to learn all that first. actually, i don't think i really started treatign this as a proper site until 2022. it took me a while, lol.
the original url for this site used to be balladeer, which was taken from my favorite genshin character, scaramouche. but i've grown out of genshin over the years, and as much as i love him, i wanted the url of this site to be something that is really important to me. thus, i chose corktree. which is based off my favorite album of all time from my favorite band of all time.
i've certainly improved in terms of my coding skills since i started this website, but the one thing i always still believe i lack in is my creativity... i really love sites that have a bunch of elements put together so neatly that it looks perfect as a complete piece. that, and i don't really know how to draw... so i can't draw custom elements to make my site look more unique. i'd love to make my website look like that one day.
