ABOUT ME ^-^

My name, Joyce Huang, quite literally translates to "Lord Yellow."

The name "Joyce" in fact has little to do with happiness, but everything to do with "lord," which is what it meant in its original Latin. 黄 (huáng) is a common Chinese last name referring to the colour yellow. I am bilingual: I speak both Chinese and English, and I am studying French, Latin (hence the name explanation), and Attic Greek. While Greek and Roman mythology were what initially drew me into Classics, languages were what kept me there and made me determined to study it in university. My personality type is INTJ and my Hogwarts house is Ravenclaw. And yes, I am an absolute nerd. Ever since I first picked up a twelve-book long series from my sister's bookshelve, I've been spellbound by the words and worlds authors spin, and dreamed of penning a fantastical world of mine's own for readers to find escape in. I love creative writing and joined both the school magazine (now a newspaper) and a literary journal outside of school. In addition to natural languages, I've also had the fortune of exploring several programming languages, from Java to Javascript. That is why you are now able to happen across my personal website! Thank you for taking the time to get to know me, and I hope you enjoy your time here.
