Song you're embarrassed to like right now: Gavotte from Claude Bolling's Suite for Violin and Jazz Piano
One thing you've dreamt about doing: Flying (too bad that's not possible), but skydiving sounds fun
If the gymnastics team were to get their own reality show, what would be the name of it: Life of the not so Average College Student

Name something most people don't know about you: 1. I am Christian. 2. I generally love the outdoors and would rather spend the day hiking or canoeing over staying inside watching TV or movies.
