clodia_risa1) Where are you living right now? Still up north, or have you migrated
back down here?
I live right in the middle of Michigan (Lower Peninsula). I will be moving sometime in the next year, and I have absolutely no idea where.
2) What made you decide to go to Agnes?
I decided to go to Agnes because they gave me the most money compared to the tuition it would cost. I wanted to go to Agnes from my very first visit when I was a junior in HS. I wasn't looking forward to it at all (I had been lead to believe that it was more similar in style to how it was fifty years ago) but the openness of everyone on campus made me fall in love with it immediately. I think I annoyed my mother by chorusing how much I loved that school and how much I wanted to go there after the visit. She had to remind me that it wouldn't work if I didn't get the money.
That was why I did so much volunteer Admissions work - I really loved the Admissions office there, and thought they did a fantastic job. I loved the school and wanted every prospective's experience to be just as awesome as mine.
3) If you could get paid to do whatever you want, what would you want to
do for your "job?"
I would be able to read or watch anything I wanted and then talk about it in a small-group setting. Not having thought about it before, this answer was interesting to discover. Thank you.
4) Tell me one random fact about yourself.
I can balance books on my head. I can go up and down stairs and sit down and stand up while balancing a book. I'm very proud of that skill.
5) What is your favorite piece of clothing/jewelry and why?
I'm a bit annoyed with most of my clothing right now for either being too small, too formal, or too thin. So I'll have to go with jewelry. This is tough. I love my ASC ring. I love my wedding rings. I had a pinky ring that was my mothers, but I've lost it somewhere. I haven't told her yet. I've had it since middle school and I loved it. These are my three pieces of favorite jewelry - until I lost my pinky ring, I wore them in all formal pictures.
If you want to have five random question of my choosing asked, then line up in the comments with "Resistance is Futile" as your subject.

Resistance is Futile!
on 2009-11-06 01:52 pm (UTC)I too can balance books on my head, but not while doing the variety of things you can do, so I'm impressed with your posture.
And the funny thing about your experience with Agnes - I had a very similar experience when I chose my first school (Salem College in NC). It meant nothing at all to me until I visited there; it was the only college I applied to that I visited. However, oddly, Salem actually *was* more like you probably envisioned Agnes Scott before visiting; I was impressed with how modern ASC was when I was there, b/c Salem was set up in a VERY similar way but was much more... Hmm, I guess I'd have to say "quaint".

on 2009-11-07 09:24 pm (UTC)1) What is your degree in?
2) If you could live in any place you wanted, where would it be?
3) How often do you wish you could ship your kids to your parents for a night of peace and quiet?
4) What really popular thing are you secretly fond of? (Anything from memes like zombies to shows like Hannah Montana.)
5) Another kid question: of the ages you've mothered so far, which is your favorite?
Sorry it took me so long. I had it open for a while, forgot about it, and came back to it today when I was trimming Firefox tabs.
