Each week, the Cavalier Daily asks a student 25 questions and allows him or her to eliminate five of them. This week's interviewee is Susan Michener, a second year from Arlington, Virginia.
Q: Has the snow changed any of your plans today?
A: One class was cancelled. I still have to go to my chapter meeting
tonight.
Q: Favorite thing to do on a snowy day?
A: Sit inside and drink hot chocolate.
Q: Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket?
A: No, I don't have a car here. I just have my friends drive me places.
Q: Who would win in a fight, you or your best friend?
A: Definitely me, but she would say that she'd win.
Q: Favorite day of the week?
A: Saturday. You don't even have to think about work.
Q: "I Love Lucy," "I Dream of Genie," or "The Dick van DykeShow?"
A: "I Love Lucy."
Q: What was the happiest moment of your day yesterday?
A: Well, I went down to Virginia Tech for the day to visit my twin
sister, best friend and parents. Eating with them was nice.
Q: If you could live on another planet, which would it be and
why?
A: Mars -- no wait, Saturn because it's giant.
Q: On a scale of one to 10, how dumb is Astrology?
A: Is 10 the dumbest? Then probably around 10.
Q: What is your favorite font?
A: Anything cursive.
Q: Do you speak any other language than English?
A: I try to speak Spanish when they make me.
Q: If you could rename any building on Grounds, which would
it be?
A: Probably New Cabell Hall. It needs something more creative.
Q: Will the Earth be destroyed by an asteroid, the sun or aliens?
A: Well, according to my astronomy professor, an asteroid.
Q: What is the biggest threat to United States security today?
A: Definitely terrorism.
Q: What was the best date you ever went on?
A: Going to D.C. for a day and seeing a Wizards game.
Q: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
A: New York City. I had the best vacation there.
Q: What makes you angriest?
A: Ignorant people.
Q: Have you voted yet?
A: No, but I'm going to.
Q: What do you put on hot dogs?
A: Ketchup and mustard.
Q: What color pen do you use most often?
A: Blue, but I like to mix it up.
The Verdict: Susan could tell you what sorority she is in, but then she would have to kill you. I think if we all sat inside and drank hot chocolate on snowy days, the world would be a happier place -- until the asteroid comes and sends us all packing for Saturn.
