Jennifer Pawlik
I'm a fifth year (as of fall quarter 2007) computer science major from southern California (though I was born in New Mexico and moved about quite a bit due to the vagaries of an Air Force life). I first started coming to Minna in fall of 2003, my first year at Poly. I didn't run for office for my second year, but I ended up being secretary for half of the 2004-2005 year anyway. After that, I ran for 2005-2006 vice president but was beaten by Erin, then ran for secretary and won. The next year, I ran for 2006-2007 vice president and won. Finally, I stepped down from the VP position for 2007-2008 and ran again for secretary (for the weekly emails are my true love) and won.
My favorite anime is Twelve Kingdoms and I love the novels. My favorite manga is Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, though I also have soft spots for xxxHolic, FAKE, and One Piece. My favorite non-Japanese books are Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones and Last Battle by Bill Bridges. I play Warcraft III and Starcraft and my favorite console game is a four-way tie between Final Fantasy VII, Breath of Fire III, Breath of Fire IV, and Drakengard 2 (my guilty pleasure). I also roleplay (via AIM and on forums) excessively and read an awful lot of fanfiction. I'm mildly proficient in reading and writing Japanese, but I'm pretty much only on par with a kindergartener.
My handle at conventions is Tenteki, and I regularly attend Fanime and Anime Expo.
I'm currently watching:
- Claymore
- Darker Than Black
- Dennou Coil
- Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei
- Baccano
- One Piece
- Avatar: the Last Airbender (which deserves a spot despite not being an anime)

What Others Say
Jenn is highly dedicated to the club in addition to being highly addicted to her manga and anime.
I have to say I pegged you for officer material within two months of meeting you, and was really dissapointed when you didn't run. While I highly respect David Bathe, it was the right decision for him to leave, and I'm glad that you stepped up to the responsibility of Secretary that year!
Doing the club proud!
PS. I also love the Japanese style "no smile allowed" photo that you have going up there!
