<p>High school–4 (although I could have done it in 3.5); College–hopefully 4 years (3 depending on the school).</p>
<p>(To the side notes in snazzy parentheses: I’m not in THAT many forums…I’ve realized that many people who apply to one school I applied to have applied to 2 others that are the same. Hopefully I’ll be able to leave some of them soon, i.e., I get a decision).</p>
<p>Umm…une question: Aimez-vous le fromage? Moi, je l’adore. (Yes, a stupid one, but it’s in French)…</p>
<p>Oui, J’ai le besoin de certains maintenant.</p>
<p>Do you like action flicks?</p>
<p>Only if they have a plot and don’t just show helicoptors blowing up. </p>
<p>Do you like magic realism?</p>
<p>(Go Blue!)</p>
<p>When it’s done right. Gabriel Garcia Marquez? Yes. Isabel Allende? No.</p>
<p>Who is your favorite archvillain? Of, y’know, ever?</p>
<p>Dolores Umbridge, hands down</p>
<p>What’s the best film performance you’ve ever seen?</p>
<p>titanic. (cliche but true)</p>
<p>what is your position on gay marriage?</p>
<p>Love is love is love…it should not be barred by any difference. I could say leagues more, but I won’t.</p>
<p>(DannonWater–I hope that wasn’t a reference to UMich, but I’m sure it was. I’m still appalled by the “Go Blue!” motif they splatter on everything.)</p>
<p>What are the best and worst things that have happened to you today?</p>
<p>(I think it’s cute. Shows school spirit from the entire state. I really wished Uchicago would have more school spirit than a defensive attack to anything said about it.)</p>
<p>(That’s true, but I think I’d go a bit crazy if I had to deal with that every day. It’s probably not that bad; I know a lot of people who go there who are definitely not that “spirited,” and they’re fine.)</p>
<p>best thing that happened- played with my puppy
Worst- I spilled my pop
(It’s there if you want it- which is a plus)</p>
<p>Can you dance?</p>
<p>No, not at all.</p>
<p>Jif or Peter Pan? (this is pre-salmonella peter pan, of course).</p>
<p>um jif,</p>
<p>what happened to peter pan?</p>

<p>;)</p>
<p>Whenever someone mentions Jif I think of Jiffy Pop popcorn and whenever someone says Peter Pan, I think of the busline! We’re Skippy folks out here.</p>
<p>Cary Grant, yes or no? (If you are into girls, Vivien Leigh, yes or no?)</p>
<p>Erm, he’s attractive, but obviously too old now. Plus, I’m not one to fawn over celebrities.</p>
<p>What do you hate most about your high school?</p>
<p>I couldn’t stand the way the kids in my class made council elections a popularity contest… my class Pres wasn’t the brightest… at all.</p>
<p>Did you watch the All-Star game yesterday?</p>
<p>No, I was at a scholarship weekend.</p>
<p>Are you watching 24 tonight?</p>
<p>nope, never seen it…</p>
<p>do you like “reality” shows?</p>
<p>Yes and no… I like things like Project Runway, where the people actually prove themselves through talent, but I can’t stand Survivor-type “let’s all live together somewhere foul and be smelly and mean so people can watch us”. American Idol falls in to neither category for me, purely because I admire their talent but don’t like singing.
How would you save the world with math?</p>
