Works like this. If you want questions of your own to answer, comment on this post.

From shnayder -

1. Are you going to let me read your thesis? You can upload it to the same place as the draft :)

Not until after Dean's Date. It's huge, and my computer is dying by degrees and no longer seems capable of opening the file. So I can't convert it to pdf. I'll try to get it converted and into my public folder or something in a few days, but right now I'm still too busy. Sorry.

2. What are you most looking forward to after graduation?

Being able to spend the entire weekend doing fun stuff and not feeling guilty for not doing homework.

3. What are you most dreading after graduation?

I'm terrified that I'm going to find out that my job is unrewarding and has bad hours and hate the commute. I'm worried that I'll never really find a job that I actually enjoy, and that I'll spend the rest of the mornings of my life not wanting to get out of bed.

4. Stealing from Pat again: What was your first impression of me?

I'm not sure I totally remember, honestly. I had you and Todd lumped in my head together for the first week or two, since you were both geeky engineering types who seemed like nice guys and hung around each other a lot.

I get the feeling that most people don't really remember first impressions that well.

5. Should I come to Princeton for dead week or go hiking until wednesday?

I don't know. I've never actually done all the band activities, so you know better than I whether these things interest you. I'm going to be in and out, and I'm not really sure I can offer you my floor for more than a day or two. Do you have somewhere else to stay?

Oooh. I'm taking a break from reading the 12 books for my 8:30 am final to answer these.

1. I guess I'm partial to Mr. Toads. When Disney destroyed Mr. Toad, I was really upset. It's the first ride that I remember and also - your hand stamps glow in the dark on it.

2. Jr. High Band. I remember you at the winter concert, because you sat up front. I also think I went over your house to work with James on a project, so I met you then.

3. I really really like being in the city. I realized from being here that I don't like the 'burbs [Cherry Hill, Rochester] and I truly enjoy being able to SEPTA offcampus to basically do anything I want to do. Really, I am sooo happy I transferred and can't think of a better school for me.

4. I'd like to replace Miss Dowd at the Times. The timing would be right, if things plan out the way I'd like them to. Having the op-ed space there would be amazing. Or..um...the Joel Stein position at Time.

5. High school - Ms. Rochhino's English 2H. She taught me how to write [and not certain words in my writing] and I listen to her advice to this day, though I hated it at the time. Or band, which shaped me. College - I wrote a documentary last semester. The teacher won the National Book Award - he's like, the most involved person I've met here and I truly value having been able to work with him.

that should read [not USE certain words in my writing]

Ironic, considering.

1. Where will you be in 5 years?
2. What's your first memory with me in it?
3. What's your favorite thing about Princeton?
4. If you weren't an engineer, what would you be?
5. Why are there so many song about rainbows - and what's on the other side?

Oh, and what I don't like about Penn: Everyone knows who I am. It was nice, at first, but now it's like - sometimes you're at a party and you don't want people to come up and inquire into your personal affairs. I get stopped most days on the walk. I guess it's a big school, but not really, because everyone seems to fall into the same patterns.

Also, too many people who just seem to have jobs in Daddy's company when they graduate Wharton. They suck.
