Introduction

Hi, my name is Tim Nelin and I am from Columbus, Ohio. I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and I also lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico. My parents are Dr. Leif and Mary Ann Nelin, both work at Ohio State and Columbus Children's Hospital. I have two twin sisters that are currently juniors at Western Kentucky University and Millsaps College, both are also preparing to take the MCAT this spring. I also hope to attend medical school and will be majoring in Biochemistry here at Trinity.
Sports, but soccer in particular, pretty much run through the family as I am currently on the soccer team here at Trinity and my sister plays at Millsaps. I also played hockey for 14 years, but I have temporarily hung up the skates because there is not much hockey down here in San Antonio. In my spare time I enjoy watching and playing sports, listening to music of all kinds, spending time with friends and relaxing. On campus, I am very involved with soccer as I am on the team, but I enjoy every second of it. I am also involved in a Bible study with the soccer team.
A "secret" fact about myself is that I am Swedish. Although I was born in the United States, I am a dual United States-Swedish citizen because my dad was born in Gothenburg, Sweden and moved to the States at a young age. Sweden is a beautiful Scandinavian country, it shares one of the world's largest archipelagos with Finland. Many Swedes, including my family that still resides there, have vacation houses on the archipelago, and during the summer the area is breathtaking.

As far as computer skills are concerned, I have not had much in the way of formal computer training besides a web-design class I took in high school. I am proficient with computers but I am looking forward to learning more skills in CSCI 1300 that will help me in the future. If you have any questions about anything on the blog, you can e-mail me here.
