Q: What are you doing for Fall Break?
A: For Fall Break, I'm just going to JMU to spend some time with my best friend who just broke up with her
boyfriend of a long time. Also, I have to follow a coach for my sports
psychology class so I'm going back to my high school to watch
football
practices.
Q: If you could go anywhere for Fall Break, where would you go?
A: For Fall Break, I think I would have to go somewhere
tropical, so I'd probably head down to the Caribbean or the Bahamas -- get some sun exposure before the winter sets in.
Q: What's the best trip you've ever been on?
A: Well, I've done a couple of
different things. When I was 15, I crewed a sailboat in the Bahamas for a week, and it was the ship that had sailed in the Bahamas
Bicentennial. It's also Jimmy Buffet's sailboat, but Jimmy Buffet wasn't there that week. I actually met some people down there that I still stay in touch with. When I was 16, I went to Europe for two weeks and spent time in France and England and Switzerland. Then the next summer, I spent two weeks in Mexico and did
service projects in Cuernavaca for an elementary school. This past New Year, I went to London for the holiday and spent time
shopping and going to plays.
