Easter Hodgepodge

1. What are your plans for Easter Day/weekend?

- This year, Easter falls smack-dab in the middle of exam week, so I'll be spending most of the weekend studying. Saturday evening, my family and I are planning on going to the Easter vigil at church. Sunday, my grandparents, uncles, and aunt are coming over for dinner. I'll probably end up eating and then retreating back to my room to cram as much astronomy in my head as I can.

2. Besides Jesus, what one person from The Bible would you most like to meet and why?

- That's a hard question... I'd have to say Joseph. I have always wondered what it was like raising Jesus. There's a lot of talk about Mary in the Bible and the Catholic church, but it seems Joseph always gets forgotten. I'd love to meet him and ask him what his life was like.

3. What is one modern day convenience you didn't have as a child that was easy to live without?

- I grew up without a cell phone. I remember having to call my friends on the house phone. I had to make sure no one was on the phone first and I always worried that my parents would pick up the other line and eavesdrop on me. (not that I was ever talking about anything bad). Now everyone has a cell phone and people rarely spend time on an actual phone call. It's all texting, all the time.

4. Are you more right brained or left brained? If you don't know what that means there is an interesting little quiz here.

- Based on the quiz, I'm whole-brained, but I lean towards left. I've never considered myself to be a very creative person, so I think the quiz is pretty accurate.

5. What is something you intended to do today but didn't? Why?

- I actually made a "to do" list last night and I accomplished everything on it. The only thing I didn't do was study with my friend Matt, but that was because he had a test to take. I studied on my own though, so I think it still counts as getting accomplished. I'm actually quite proud of the fact that I finished my astronomy chapters. I've been known to complain non-stop about the class so it took a lot (deactivating facebook and leaving my computer at home) to finally finish my readings.

6. Cadbury Creme Eggs or Reeses peanut butter?

- REESES! Reeses are my weakness. I've been trying to give up chocolate since January (in support of my head-teacher Nichole), but I sneak a Reeses cup every once in a while.

7. Who was your favorite cartoon character when you were a child?

- hmm... I wasn't in to too many cartoons as a child. I was more of a Gullah Gullah Island girl. But I did love the Animaniacs. They were entertaining AND educational. Nowadays, I can't get enough of the Backyardigans and Wonderpets. I wish my cousins weren't growing up so fast.

8. Insert your own random thought here.

- This time next week, I'll officially be on summer vacation. I feel like it's coming at a terrible time though. While I'm looking forward to being done with classes, I'm not looking forward to all my new friends going home. I'm hoping some of them choose to stay in Orlando over break.
