<p>Favorite school subject(s): English, History, Bio</p>

<p>Favorite food: Japanses. I went on a rant last night about how I'd die without it. Sushi, shrim tempura, miso soup, chicken tariaki...everything! All so good!!!! They have sushi at U of R, which is why I chose it. No, not really. I also love Chinese, artichokes, brisket and basically whatever you want to feed me. I like food. </p>

<p>Favorite drink: Coffee, chocolate shake, water, tea, BUBBLE TEA.</p>

<p>Favorite music: Everything. 80s Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Ben Folds, Beatles, Carole King, Kelly Clarkson (yes.), and Broadway!!</p>

<p>Hobbies: Writing, singing, dreaming up screenplays, singing a lot, hanging out with friends, going to thrift stores, drawing portraits, meeting new people, going on adventures, having fun while not relying on partying every weekend, exercising (yeah, i'm cool), tap dance (my friend and i take an adult beginner class and we're horrible), etc. </p>

<p>Major?: Maybe Psych or something similar. Maybe bio. I don't want to be a doctor because I have a weak stomach. I think I might end up being a continuity person in movies because I always notice when something is off, like a cut or a hand position or something.</p>

<p>I'm really excited about going to Rochester next year! If you want to talk to me, my AIM screen name is becsauce13.</p>

<p>I also really like Japanese food, but there isn't much of it where I live. I've never had bubble tea before, but I'm definitely going to try it when I get to Rochester.</p>

<p>Hey-</p>

<p>That's exciting. Are you going to Rochester for sure? My sn is the same as my CC name. Hope to chat w/ya sometime.</p>

<p>Ooops, I forgot to add my two cents about Project Runway...I think Chloe rightfully won, but I didn't expect her to have such a good collection. I expected Daniel to do a better job, and from what we saw on the 2nd to last episode, I expected Santino to win. However, I think Chloe had by far the most coherent collection that really spoke to who she was, so I think her win was well-deserved.</p>
