(no subject)
1) Ok, this one should probably be obvious to by now, but: Why Shrew?
It's actually shortened from "The Doomèd Shrew God" back on the old Suikosource forums. When I was in high school I turned in one of those "Do you Have any Comments? Complaints?" forms to a teacher, but not before writing "Crazed Evil Shrews Will Eat Me" all over it. The teacher started cracking up, and shrews were an ongoing joke in the class. The I made the account, and so on. That and shrew's an awesome word.
2) What is your major? And why did you choose it? You always seem to be taking interesting classes but I have no idea what degree you're going for.
I'm an English major with a Chinese minor, although that will probably soon be a double-major. I chose it because I like paying lots of money to make no money. Or because I like it.
3) What do you plan to do after college?
Probably teach on a high school level, though CMU doesn't have an education major, so to get certified I'd need some alternate method, like Teach for America. Maybe eventually get a PhD and become a professor.
4) Favorite type of cookie?
Chocolate chip, though I also like Peanut Butter. I can make my own chocolate chip cookies though, so they have a distinct advantage.
5) What's life like in Pennsylvania? I've passed through the state, but never stayed there much, so I'm curious what the average day-to-day life is like. :)
IT IS LIKE NOTHING YOU COULD IMAGINE. IT IS HEAVENLY, LIKE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE. Actually, I doubt it's all that different from Illinois. Pittsburgh's a pretty big city, so there's a good number of museums/sports/local theater/parks to see. Western Pennsylvania is pretty much enraptured by the Steelers. Most of the state is mountainous/hilly, so besides Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Erie, and Harrisburg, most of the cities are pretty small and separated by big hills. And there's lots of Amish about an hour away from anywhere you are. Weather in the west also suffers from being at the edge of a Mountain range. Storms fly and rage across the midwest, then hit Pittsburgh, can't get over the mountains, and sit there and slowly die over a couple dies. I don't know much about local politics, since even though I was born in Pennsylvania, I've lived in Ohio throughout High School, and I'm just a visiting student here. Things are in pretty good shape, if one can excuse the madness of Senator Rick Santorum.
Heck of lot better than Ohio.
Yeah, so if you want me to ask you 5 questions, make a comment or a post or a douchebag or whatever's hip with the kids these days.
I might respond; it depends on whether I like you or not/can think up questions. You can just reply in comments.
I think the main fan in my laptop broke. Major suckage and overheating. I blame David Bowie.
Also, schedule for next year:
MW Research in English 10:30-11:50
MWF Advanced Chinese I 12:30-1:20
MW Screenwriting 1:30-2:50
TR Romantics 12-1:20
TR Learning About Language Learning 1:30-2:50
Yay. Bye now.
