1. Latin class, I guess. My prof was from Boston, had a great sense of humor and a knack for calling on me when I wasn't prepared.
2. Literature.
3. Nah. I'm afraid of water.

I have to admit, this gave me a special little chuckle. As I was writing the question my first impulse was to make 3 Have you ever considered teaching? I changed it as I was writing and then forgot, so seeing your answer in my inbox made me go buh-WAH!!!!???

*snork* Well, to answer your possible question, yes, but I'm afraid of kids. So there you go. All my secret fears, laid out before you.

1. Living in the dorms

2. Children's Literature. Hollins University in Roanoke has my top choice program, followed by Simmons College in Boston.

3. Piracy or becoming a Ninja. It's a toss-up.

1. What is/was your favorite thing about college?
More than anything, I loved the feeling of freedom. I was living away from home, paying for my own education, and expanding my horizons in ways that had never really occurred to me. I loved my classes and my professors. I came out as gay and I was in a really safe place to do that. I stayed up all night studying and talking literature, smoked too much, drank too much, and still managed to pull off a 4.0 average and work 20 hours a week.

I'd say college was just about the first time I'd felt really free and alive, in a lot of ways.

2. If you could get an advanced degree in any subject, what would it be?
Wow, that's a tough one. It's hard to say. My first thought was something to do with animal medicine, but I really don't want to go to vet school. I might say animal behaviorism instead, because I'm so good at working with special needs animals.

I know from experience that I don't want an advanced degree in English (I went back to grad school for a year and found it a lot less rewarding than being an undergrad because my classmates were all "Graduate School is Serious Business!" and I was all, "You're at the University of Maine, get over yourselves!"

3. Have you ever considered piracy?
Only as a great fantasy. I'm still looking for a Pirate Queen to come and shanghai me and hold me hostage all night on her boat. :-)

1) The fact that it had an ending? Ohhh, okay...my favourite thing about college was a professor named Ian Cameron. He loved what he did, wore plaid ties, and drank sherry while marking our essays...and he had a great sense of humour. I'm not entirely sure I would've finished my degree if it weren't for him.

2) I'm not really sure, actually. I have next to no interest in ever going back to school, unless it's for something like drawing or music lessons.

3) Every day of my life. :)

1. Friends
2. Theatre (duh. I'm not good for much else)
3. Of the high seas variety? No.

1. The sense of anticipation.
2. a JD in entertainment law.
3. I am afraid of parrots, so no.

1. No responsibilities except taking care of myself.
Classes for the most part were fun for me, and it was one time in my life when I was completely carefree.

2. I have an advanced degree in writing. I'd like to get an advanced degree in theatre. MFA in directing, I think.

3. Not even for a second. I like baths.

1)Never really went.
2)Religion/Folklore/Mythology
3)Yep!

1. Picking my own schedule, for the most part. Nothing too early.

2. You know, I would have said music a few years ago, but now that I'm out that, I'm not so sure. Psychology perhaps?

3. As in, being a pirate? No. Stealing music? When I was younger it wasn't a big deal to me and so I did, but now I try very hard to pay when I can because I like to support artists. Its sad though, cause artists don't really make their money off of CD sales, so it's a tough decision.
