My name is Adam Larsen. I recently completed my Master of Arts in psychology and my school psychology internship at Northern Illinois University in Dekalb, IL. I now work as an administrator for a medium-sized rural school district in Northern Illinois.

I completed my undergraduate studies in psychology and music at Iowa State University of Science and Technology in Ames, IA in December 2004.

I'm slowly working on building information here related to my interests.

Backpacking
A few friends from college and I go on a yearly backpacking trip. So far, we have attacked:


 * Chisos Mountains in Big Bend National Park of Texas
 * Berryman Trail in the Mark Twain National Forest of Missouri
 * Eagle Rock Loop in the Ouachita National Forest of Arkansas
 * Belly River Trail, Elizabeth Lake Trail, Stoney Indian Pass Trail, and the Ptarmigan Tunnel Trail in Glacier National Park of Montana
 * Superior Hiking Trail of Minnesota
 * Appalachian Trail in Great Smoky Mountains National Park of Tennessee
 * Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan
 * Guadalupe Mountains National Park in Texas

I hike with a Kelty backpack, a Camelbak hydration system and a JetBoil Personal Cooking System.

Rubik's cubes
I started serious study of the Rubik's cube in December of 1999. The first method I learned was the Ideal Method, but soon learned the Lars Petrus method as I began speedcubing. I routinely solve the 3x3x3 in around 60 seconds. Currently, I am learning the Stephan Pochmann method of blindsolving (memorizing the cube's configuration and solving without looking).
