About Herbert
Herbert is a college student from Swarthmore College (currently on leave for the semester, and thus with lots of free time to play with her XO). She is in love with Joey, her little XO, who accompanies her near everywhere she goes. She finds it especially useful for long commutes, note taking, and term paper writing.
Herbert is also an active participant of OLPC_Learning_Club_D.C..
