<p>Same with me, Froghorn. There's a method to the madness. It only doesn't work when people interfere and "put my stuff away" for me. </p>
<p>I'd rather fly. Much more practical and fun in my opinion.</p>
<p>Hmm. What do you want to do after college, if you have any idea at all?</p>
<p>Totally. I want be either a litigator or a professor legal ethics. Et tu, Devorzhum?</p>
<p>What are you doing today?</p>
<p>Well, with the time difference my day is pretty much done, but i met friends for a coffee, then we walked up to the castle, went for another tea at a different place - there's nothing better than tea/coffee and good conversation :)</p>
<p>I'd like to be a novelist, a philosophy professor, or an ethicist. </p>
<p>And yes, tea/coffee and a good conversation is the best. =) Especially chai. I don't like coffee.</p>
<p>What kind of extracurriculars do you plan to join/start when you get to Amherst?</p>
<p>Hey guys!</p>
<p>I want to join/start anything that has to do with current events, civil/human rights, or law/politics.</p>
<p>What Icecream flavor best describes you?</p>
<p>Strawberry.</p>
<p>Who is your hero (if you have one)?</p>
<p>ooh, I also really want to do anything related to current events and politics - I love MUN! Does anyone know if Amherst has an MUN club? If not, I'll start one :)</p>
<p>Hmmm..... my hero... that's a tough one. Proabaly Vaclav Havel because of his courage and constant promotion of peace (plus he's one of my favourite playwrights). He's my intellectual hero but I don't think I really have an overall hero.</p>
<p>My political hero right now is Dr. Javad Zarif, Iranian Ambassador to the UN, because he helps facilitate cooperation and dialogue between Iran and the UN and is much more diplomatic and less inflammatory than certain other Iranian representatives....I think you know who i mean, haha. I just represented Iran at an MUN conference so that's why I'm really interested in Iran right now.</p>
<p>If you (for some odd reason) had to give up your American (or another country's) passport and choose a new nationality, which one would you pick?</p>
<p>Canada.</p>
<p>If you could gain instant fluency in any language, which would you choose?</p>
<p>Chinese (Mandarin)</p>
<p>If you could be a varsity athlete in any sport what would it be?</p>
<p>you mean high-school varsity? I play varsity soccer but I'd love to become an university varsity sailor.</p>
<p>Kristina, why Canada?</p>
<p>Are you a city person or a country person?</p>
<p>City, definitely.</p>
<p>Fav, poet?</p>
<p>Rainer Maria Rilke.</p>
<p>Where would you want to study abroad, if you do?</p>
<p>That's hard! I really want to study in France but I will also want to further my German (should that be the lang I choose to learn in college). The chance to study at Oxford or Cambridge would be great, too. Devorzhum, I've never met another kid who wants to be an ethicist, cool!</p>
<p>Fav. int'l/domestic city?</p>
<p>Quebec, most def.
well, out of all those I've been to. Which really isn't many, but quebec is great.</p>
<p>favorite thing to do on a snowy day?</p>
<p>Quebec isn't is a city... but I agree it's a cool province!</p>
<p>Go snowboarding and then sit in one of those outdoor ski chalets drinking hot chocolate and soaking up the sun :)</p>
<p>Are a type A or type B kind of person?</p>
<p>Type A person lol.</p>
<p>Dostoevsky or Jane Austen?</p>
<p>Dostoevsky, definitely.</p>
<p>Chemistry or Physics?</p>
<p>Chemistry so far.</p>
<p>Why do I suddenly want to look at amherst?</p>
<p>cause it's where all the cool kids go.</p>
<p>what's your top 5 most played songs on your ipod/zune/other mp3 player?</p>
<p>Physics for me. </p>
<p>I'd say you suddenly want to look at Amherst at least in part because everybody in this thread seems to be bright, friendly and presumably fun to meet! The kinds of students who apply to a school are a big factor, to me at least.</p>
<p>Same to you, Froghorn =p I've been reading Peter Singer for an independent study lately. Hate him, though. What about you? Oh, and France, Germany and England are at the top of my study abroad list, too.</p>
<p>To whoever is below, are you an outdoors kind of person?</p>
