Marcus Chin
I am an undergraduate student in Sydney, Australia, at Macquarie University, who aspires to a life of writing and thinking. I am studying, and enjoy above all ancient history, on whic I will generally be writing. Moreover I also enjoy tennis, and am especially a fan of Roger Federer, the GOAT (Greatest of all Time). It is part of this interest that I also write for the fan journalist website Bleacher Report on things tennis. I also have a growing interest in astronomy and the current, very exciting search for new exoplanets - look too for articles on such topics. Yet I will also on occasion write about things that I might feel need to be written on, perhaps something random about life that is totally unrelated to any of these categorical interests.
