1.What has been your favorite course of study in or out of school? Why? | My favorite course has been MUSM 4010 - Museums and Society because I am highly interested in museum studies for graduate school. Bob Nauman taught the class for Maymester and was an amazing inspiration towards the structure of the class. We took many field trips to museums which made the class more intriguing. Taking this course has taught me that museums are a vital aspect for the education system and I am very interested to learn more about museums in the future.
2. How many pages was the longest paper you have written? Did it include endnotes and bibliography? | The longest paper I have ever written was 15 pages long and it included a bibliography.
3. Which was your favorite paper? Please tell us about the topic in a couple of sentences. | My favorite paper I have written was for my modern architecture class on Le Corbusier's the Unite d'Habitation. I had never written a paper on architecture and I really enjoyed the process on researching and learning about a building.
4. Is there a particular kind of writing you love to do? | I like to write while doing research on a certain subject. It makes me more interested in finding out more on the subject matter.
5. Which books have you read lately: art, fiction, non-fiction, sci-fi, poetry, environmental, film? Any comments are welcome. | I sadly have not been keeping up on reading lately but the last book I read was Water For Elephants. The book started off slow but turned out to be a great story and had a little bit of history to it by being in the circus setting. Some of my favorite books are The Time Travelers Wife, White Oleander and A Million Little Pieces, just to name a few. I also look back from time to time on Taschen's Horror Cinema because I am fascinated by horror films.
6. Which artist or writer really impresses you? Why? | Steve Klein has always inspired and impressed me by his photography because of the way he catches raw emotion with elaborate scenes in a studio setting. I just love all of his work, especially his fashion photography statements.
7. What is your main interest besides writing, art, music, (i.e., the humanities)? | Outside of the humanities, I am very interested in cooking, traveling, reading, spending time outdoors, and developing closer relationships with family and friends.
8. Please describe briefly an article in a newspaper or a magazine that got you thinking lately. | Seeing all the articles and images from Hurricane Irene has really struck me emotionally because I have a lot of friends who live on the east coast. It is scary to think that houses, schools, and places you grow to love can be gone in a second due to nature.
9. Which recent cultural event has really impressed you? This can be a museum, a concert, or anything like that, but also a sports game (if you consider this a cultural event, for which there are good reasons). | In June, I went home for a weekend to see U2 and I am still amazed from that concert. I knew U2 was going to be a good show but I did not expect it to be unbelievable! I am a huge music freak and going to Sasquatch in May was the highlight of my year, sorry U2 but you just can't beat that!
10. Is there another, non-cultural event that has affected you deeply. | A non-cultural event would be what happens with my friends and family because they are extremely close to me and it is personal to me.
11. Please share with us a thought or an idea that really widened your intellectual horizon. If possible, give a source for this idea so that those who are interested know where to go. | In my EDUC 3010 class we had to read an article on CU Learn and a quote that struck me was "Habit covers the very makeup of desire, intent, choice, disposition which gives an act its voluntary quality". This quote made me think myself and what habits I do from the choices I make within my life and education.
