I’ve been studying for like 300 hours straight, so I need a frivolous distraction from it all. Warning: this is like a mash-up of five different surveys.

Who were you with yesterday?
Apart from being on campus with a bunch of students, no one.

What woke you up this morning?
Panic about the impending 701 final.

Where are you?
IN PANIC MODE!

Is tomorrow going to be a good day?
Tomorrow I’ll likely be in an even greater mode of panic than today.

What’s on your mind RIGHT NOW?
The 701 final.

Do you listen to music every day?
I do indeed! Music chills me out. And I also kind of have to listen to it every day, what with my “Decade of Music” project.

Are you a fast typist?
I can hit 110 WPM pretty consistently .

Whats your favorite type of soda?
It’s this new stuff called “water.” It’s really good, you should give it a try.

Have you ever won an award?
I’ve won a few school-related ones.

Are you listening to music right now?
Yup!

How long ’till your birthday?
A little less than two months.

Do you use eBay to buy or sell?
I used to. I haven’t used eBay at all in quite some time.

Do certain songs make you cry?
EVERYTHING makes me cry. It’s embarrassing. (So embarrassing it makes me cry.)

Are you usually a happy person?
Uh…I’m better than I used to be. Or I guess I could say that I’m more optimistic than I used to be.

What makes you the happiest?
STATISTICS! And Leibniz.

How’s your self esteem?
The Self Esteem Train does not stop at Claudia Station. The U.S.S. You’re a Big Fat Failure, however, frequents my harbor quite often.

Have you had an argument with anyone recently? If so, do you still have issues with that person?
I don’t know when I last had something that would be considered a legitimate argument.

Are you talking to anyone while filling this in? How about texting/chatting on Facebook?
I just sent an email, though that was before I started this survey. Gmail is still open in my browser, though.

Have you done something recently that helped someone else, in any way?
I’ve helped our little study group with a few of the concepts/questions for 701 (and they, of course, have helped me as well with other concepts/questions).

Who was the last person to pay you a compliment?
My mom? No wait, Charles said he liked my shirt this afternoon. So Charles.

Is there anything that’s happened in the past month that you wish you could go back in time and change?
I wish I’d done better on our second 701 midterm. I got a 29/30, but there was the opportunity to get as much as 40/30, so yeah.

What colour is your purse/wallet?
My wallet’s sparkly silver with little stars on it. Or maybe they’re hearts. And I don’t have a purse.

What’s the closest item to you that’s black?
MY SOUL.
(Or my hair.)

Think about what you looked like 5 years ago. How did you look different, compared to the way you look now?
Hahahahaha. Well, I still look like a bucket o’ dork, but I don’t have bangs anymore. And my glasses are different. And my hair was frizzier back then because 5 years ago I was in Vancouver.

Before Facebook became popular, did you use any other social networking site, like Bebo or Myspace?
I got peer-pressured into getting a MySpace by my high school friends. Then they peer-pressured me into starting a blog. So you can blame them for all of this!

Has someone of the opposite sex ever sung to you? If so, how did you respond to it?
No one has sung specifically to me in the sense of like composing a song for me or singing a love song to me or anything like that, but I’ve certainly heard the opposite sex sing in my direction.

When did you last hug someone of the opposite sex?
The 29th of last month!

Have you ever seen the film “Casablanca”? Did you like it?
I’ve never seen it.

Do you have a relative whose name begins with ‘L’? Tell me about him/her.
Lance is my uncle on my dad’s side. He lives in California and basically took over my grandpa’s business when grandpa died. Uncle Lance is pretty cool.

Are you a secretive person?
I divulge quite a bit on here, but I have quite a few things that only one or two people know about.

When did you last eat?
Yesterday.

If you were going to buy a present for a special person, what would you generally choose?
I really try to get people something that they’ve mentioned just in passing so that they’re not really expecting it. Either that or I’ll make them something, but I usually only do that for super special people, ‘cause I’m kind of weird with my art in the sense that I like to keep all the originals together if possible.

If I’m going to buy you a box of chocolates, which kind should I definitely NOT get?
I’ve never understood the appeal of chocolate covered fruit. I also don’t like dark chocolate ‘cause it’s waaaaaaaaaaay too bitter for my taste. Anything else is good, though.

Is there something you generally always ask for help with?
I should ask for help with directions, because if I don’t I’m prone to wandering around in near panic mode because I can’t orient myself in space for some reason. True story: the other day (well, I guess the day we got down to like -25, which was November 28th) I decided that it was far too cold to walk so I wanted to go to the U of C rec center instead. I’d never been there, but I knew you could get there from the math building without going outside. I literally spent 45 minutes trying to figure out how to get to the rec center once I got into Mac Hall. It was sad.

If you had to give up your phone or your computer, which would it be?
HA, easy question. Phone. Sorry, phone.

Has anyone called you gorgeous/beautiful today?
Hahahaha, nooooo.

In what ways have you rebelled against your upbringing?
My parents are both radios. I decided to become a toaster.

In what ways have you rebelled against your schooling?
Um, I don’t know if I have. Unless you count cramming 4 years of undergrad into 2 ½. Though that was more of a “you told me this wasn’t possible so watch me do it and watch me do it with a 4.0, hahaha” thing than a rebellion thing.

Blinking Christmas Lights or Still Christmas Lights:
If they’re not causing seizures, they’re not blinking fast enough for me.

You are awake at 2:30 in the morning on a work night (or school night). What is the most likely reason?
Dude, at 2:30 my night is just getting started. I’m actually probably making dinner. Yes, my schedule is that screwed up right now.

Time Magazine says you are a candidate for 2014’s Person of the Year. What is the most likely reason?
They screwed up somehow, haha.

Your hometown is naming a geographical or civil landmark after you, as in Mary’s Creek or David’s Corner. What is the most likely name of this spot?
“Claudia’s Walk.” It would be a trail or something going through the town.

Twenty-four hours from now, you’ve got a great smile on your face. What is the most ideal reason for this smile?
I suddenly have gained the statistical intuition and abilities of Gauss and Fisher COMBINED and thus know that I’m going to NAIL the 701 final on Monday.
