Interview

This is from my friend, Kim. She was my RD in college back at SC and we went to Japan together when I was a student. Then later I traveled back to Japan where she was living (and remains) to help with some orientation of summer teams. It was awesome. I miss her, haven't seen her in years and thought I'd introduce you all to her here. THese are questions that she asked me.


1. You love holidays! Why? (Why not? isn't an
answer!)

I love to celebrate. Life is sucky sometimes and why dwell on that when you can dwell on the joy of holidays? People come together and they can be so festive! So grab something and someone and party-on! The next holiday here in Kenya is Labor Day on May 1. Random Thursday off. Sounds like a good holiday to me. I will be in the US for Mother's Day, Memorial Day, FAther's Day and I think maybe Independence Day - hooray!


2. Why did you choose to go to Sterling College?

I wanted a small, Chirstian college. I naively thought that the 'bad' things that happen at big schools wouldn't happen there. However, if I recall the whole soccer team was suspended the year before I arrived for drinking. SC has it's faults like any other school but I loved the people, the faith, the challenges and opportunities that were provided to me through it. I wouldn't change having chosen SC for anything.

3. What do you cook besides pancakes?

I just had everyone over for cake and ice cream for a friend's birthday (see Q1) and last week I also had folks over for chili. I like soups and things that take few dishes. But I really like desserts. yummy!


4. How is your fair complexion and the sun in Africa making out?

I have a tan unlike anything I've ever had. I don't know if you can tell without me showing you the farmer tan lines though and it's really just on my face, arms and neckline. It's fun though. I've only had two serious burns since arriving in Africa - ouch!

5. How is your sweet nephew doing?????

He is too cute for words. I recently received the Easter pictures and he was enjoying dying eggs on his papa's lap. Too, too cute. I can hardly wait to see him. I called Ang the other day and tried to talk to him. All I got, repeatedly, was HI! It was great!


Now it's your turn. If you want to be interviewed, leave me a comment including the words "Interview me."
I will respond by emailing you five questions. I will pick the questions. If you don't have a valid email address on your blog, please provide one. You will update your blog with a post containing your answers to the questions. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
