Amanda Partelow
Intellistudent of the Week, 7-28-08
Alright, alright...How do I start this? You'd think after all the scholarship essays I've been doing I'd know by now...Hope you don't mind I write in first person, third person always throws her off...Ahem.
First off, My name is Amanda Partelow, I'm 19 years old and I'm a pretty big weirdo. I'm currently attending the Savannah College of Art and Design, although it's also known by the gross acronym of "SCAD".
I'm studying to be an animator, because it's really all I want to do in life. One day I'm gonna be up there with Disney and Miyazaki and who knows who else! I'm pretty psyched about it. (Not so psyched about the hundred thousand something dollar debt I'm raking up attending this school though...)
I like climbing trees, playing in the rain, and laughing at dumb people doing dumb things. I'm a huge Indiana Jones and Star Wars fan. Batman is my idol. My guilty pleasure in life is liking My Chemical Romance. I draw a lot of dinosaurs and I think people need more tinsel in their lives.
I babysit four children every summer. I have since I was thirteen, and I've basically adopted them and claimed them as my own. Skipped the birth and stretch mark thing completely, I recommend it to everyone!
I read books! Alice in Wonderland is my favorite. 8)
My dog and I have the strange tendency to hang out. I'm from Vermont, there's not much to do there. I know it and Dewey knows it. So we go downtown a lot and get Ben & Jerry's ice cream together. (Although he's more a sorbet guy)
I've got class soon, Uncle Scuzzy! Gotta keep up my perfect attendance. Comments:1Briana said: "You are amazing!!!" |
