all the cool kids are doing it.
1.) where did you get late-night food?
Mitchell Hall Subway, Capuccino's, Papa John's, Domino's...um, wherever would send it.
2.) what was the worst class you ever had?
Intro to Logic: 8:50 am on Fridays with a professor who looked like Janet Reno, but was much less interesting, I presume, than the real Janet Reno.
3.) what was the best class you ever had?
Class and Inequality.
4.) who was your favorite instructor?
Sarah Binder.
5.) who was your least favorite instructor?
The heavily accented man who taught me statistics. I'd say I caught about 4 words for every ten he spoke.
6.) favorite college bar?
Lindy's, obvs.
7.) best sporting event attended?
There were sports?
8.) best concert attended?
And there were concerts?
9.) the best time to have a class?
9:30 is a good time to start the day I think.
10.) favorite drink?
The Lindy's Woodchuck pitcher special (may it rest in peace) or a Captain & coke.
11.) what was your first dorm room?
Thurston 317.
12.) first roommate?
Ariel (that is pronounced R-E-L, not "air-ee-el", in case you are wondering), Jessie, and Crying Lauren.
13.) the funniest nickname for a person in college?
When Lee named his rock pick "Ilona" and we named him "Sexy Rexy."
14.) craziest friend
How to choose?
15.) books . . . buy? borrow? or not buy?
Buy, sell back, whine about lack of resale value. Repeat.
16.) how many parking tickets?
I can't even talk about the green stickers at the QH. 2-hour zoned parking by my work: also shitty.
17.) favorite cafeteria food?
BBQ chicken pizza.
18.) funniest person?
Again, who to choose?
19.) nationalities of instructors and ta's?
Please see #5. And I have no idea. My sociology TA was a Russian named Dmitri who gave everyone As. We <3 Dmitri.
20.) ever take a cinema class?
No, but I did get to watch a bit of lesbian erotica for "History of Sex", which, incidentally, I signed up for not knowing that it was history of sex, nor that it contained lesbian erotica as well as graphic depictions of "fisting."
21.) phys ed classes taken?
I think it can easily be said that I did as little physical activity as was possible in college. This, combined with #1, produced some bad results which I spent the following year and a half paying for in gym fees and lost desserts.
23.) any clubs or organizations?
Neighbors' Corps and CLEARLY...mock trial.
24.) first friend on the first day freshman year?
Beth, who was also stuck in Logic at 8:30 with Janet Reno.
25.) school mascot?
The Hippo I mean the Colonial.
26.) favorite recreational sport (besides beer pong)?
I went to some rugby...parties.
27.) favorite place to live?
I was a big fan of New Hall. And not just for the creative name.
28.) best road trip?
The only ones I went on involved mock trial, and they were horrifying trips in Bargain Buggie death traps.
29.) cult movie classic?
Swingers I guess, and anything starring Melissa Joan Hart or similar.
30.) how many friends from your college days do you talk to each week?
2 I think.
31.) if applicable, did you go to class on 9/11?
No, but I was in DC.
32.) craziest thing you did on a campus bus?
I did take a class at The Vern, but I never did anything crazy on the shuttle. I thought about doing some crazy things to my way hot acting partner, who was in the class, if that counts.
33.) best date function?
Is it sad that I can't think of one?
34.) ever stay for a summer session?
Not for school, but I did stay in DC to work every summer except the first.
35.) best campus job?
My DC Reads tutoring job was obviously so good that I just COULD NOT GET ENOUGH of those crazy inner-city kids and decided to continue on after graduation.
36.) strangest place on campus?
Quigley's Pharmacy: not a pharmacy, not owned by Quigley's. Discuss.
37.) ever paint your face for a sporting event?
What are these "sporting events" you speak of?
38. What year did you graduate?
2003.
39. Get your degree?
B.A. in political science and sociology: quite possibly the most typical of all GW degrees. Oh and now I'm in law school...what can I say, I'm an original.
40. Any regrets?
Nah. Good times.
