personals: Questions for Gloria Martinez '11
By
What do you miss the most from home?

Aside from the authentic spicy Mexican dishes-all with a side of rice and beans and let's not forget the guacamole­-I'd say my two little sisters yanking at my hair at 12 a.m. as I rush to complete my assignment for the following morning.

Is In-N-Out really as good as many Californians make it out to be?

Hell yeah! It is our own personal treasure that no one else can have. There is a lot of love in it. It's original and a must if you ever go to Cali. Ask for the "Hidden Menu" or have it done "Animal Style."

What did you do during the summer?

What every incoming college student attending a $49,000 out-of-state college should do-a summer job! And cheesy farewell parties with hugs and kisses and tears ... sigh.

If you were a type of shoe, what kind of shoe would you be and why?

To be honest, I don't really like shoes. The only reason I wear shoes is because I can't get into many places without shoes. But if I were required to choose, I'd be a pair of worn-out chucks, no contest. Why? It comes out in "The Sandlot."

If you were a TV sitcom, which one would you be?

"Seinfeld," because it is a show about nothing. You just watch it and the creative flow is limitless. It is free-flowing and it works.

What is your favorite class so far? Have you learned anything interesting in any of your classes that you'd like to share?

My favorite class thus far has been The Value of Nature. I'll leave you with this: Do we have a moral obligation to all other species since we are the ones with higher reasoning and do we really need biodiversity to survive or only to improve the quality of life?

Define "mad sketch." What do people in California say that is comparable? Mad sketch: a person, place, or thing that is very shady, suspicious or has unknown intentions.

What is the lamest pick-up line you have ever heard?

I brought my library card 'cause I'm checking you out!

What clubs or activities have you joined so far?

I pretty much signed up for every club on campus. Just to mention some: La Causa, BSU, Swing and Ballroom Dance, MassPIRG.

Did you see any movies this summer? If so, did you like any of them?

Ever heard of "Magnolia?" A work of art. Genius!

Strangest food you have ever tried?

Thai food in the most ironic Thai food place: California Pizza Kitchen. Go figure.

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

My dream job: bum. I figured that job entails no responsibilities. Plus, I'd get to sleep under the stars. What more can I ask for? Actually, a blanket will be good.

What is your favorite color?

Midnight blue-I think it looks great with black and black is supposed to make you seem thinner ... right? ... right ... ?
