Student of the Week!

I'm going to take a page from my daughter and do a little about me thing. The girl brought home this paper. On it was written Student of the Week! and it tells about how the child has to put a little presentation of sorts together for the class to see. It's put up on a bulletin board the whole week. She was given various questions to answer about herself, I figured I'd do the same. So here goes:

1. "My Family..." Hmm.. How to answer this. Ok, there's me, the two kids (a boy and a girl), my parents, and a slew of aunts, uncles and cousins. I'm an only child. We're a goofy, sarcastic bunch and we're all very close as families go. We always get together for holidays, usually at my house because my mom and I are the best cooks in the family. They drive me crazy and I love them to death.
2. "My favorite book is..." My favorite book of all time is Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. More recent favorites are: American Gods by Neil Gaiman and The Secret History by Donna Tartt.
3. "My favorite sport is..." I'm not much of a sports person. I'm not totally averse to volleyball, bowling, or badminton. (Edited to add: in grade school I was in intramural basketball, in highschool it was intramural ping pong, in college it was intramural volleyball.)
   
4. "I would like to travel to..." Everywhere? I'd really love to travel the world. So far I've only been to Canada and Russia. I had a lay-over in Ireland. Does that count?
5. "My favorite subject is..." Well, since I'm no longer in school, this is no longer applicable. But when I was in school, my favorite subjects were: Art, Chemistry, English, and French.
6. "My favorite things about me..." Ahh.. This is where I get to wax poetic on myself. I'm not so good at that. Hmm.. I think I'm smart, funny, creative, and a good problem solver.
   
7. "When I grow up I want to be..." Well, there are so many things I'd love to be. So many careers I love. I'm happy with the hair thing now. When I was little, I wanted to be a mad scientist. I wanted my own lab with bubbly beakers and test tubes. I thought mad scientists had all the fun. My kindergarten teacher crushed my hopes when she said I couldn't be one. I still kinda want to be a mad scientist.
8. "My birthday is..." None of your business. But as my profile says, I'm a Libra and a Rabbit.

And that's what I did on my summer-- Oh, uh, and that's, well, me.
