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 second-year College student Elizabeth Dyer, who is studying Anthropology.
Q: What are you most looking forward to this summer?
A: Sleeping freakishly late and not wearing long pants because I really think they're uncomfortable, and not wearing closed-toed shoes. And seeing my friends, of course.
Q: What is the best song to listen to in the car with the windows down?
A: It changes every week. This is really lame, but right now I am totally obsessed with this song "Be Mine" by R.E.M. It's not something that you're supposed to sing really loudly, but I do.
Q: What is the most difficult assignment you have to finish before the end of the school year?
A: I have to write a 20-page original ethnography for an anthropology class that I definitely shouldn't have taken in the first place.
Q: On a scale of one to 10, how addicted are you to caffeine?
A: I'm only like a two. I really only drink caffeine in the form of hot chocolate, so I really don't get a lot of it. I hate coffee -- I think it tastes terrible.
Q: How many classes do you think you have skipped this semester?
A: Well, not that many. Probably about four or five.
Q: What class are you most looking forward to taking in the fall?
A: This class with Edith Turner about myth and ritual. You basically go to her house and do all these rituals from different parts in the world.
Q: What won't you miss about Charlottesville over the summer?
A: The average of three parking tickets I get a week. I'm convinced that all the people that do the ticketing see my car and run to it.
Q: How many times do you plan on seeing "Star Wars, Episode III" this May?
A: Zero.
Q: Do you take allergy medicine?
A: I take Claritin D and sometimes I take Zyrtec. When all that fails, I take Z-pac. I haven't really been that bad this spring.
Q: Do you plan on streaking before the end of the year?
A: Already have done that the weekend before last. It was a beautiful sensation. I've been streaking before, just not at U.Va. There's something about walking through a landscape where you live everyday naked that is just delightful. I laughed the whole time and strolled
