US: What has been most fun thing about USU so far?
Wood: Hanging out with all my friends. The Jell-O slide has been a blast.
US: Why are you going into nursing?Wood: It pays good and they’re needed. I have always wanted to be one ever since I was little.

US: If you could make a screen T-shirt what would it say?
Wood: High maintenance girl.
US: What do you think about guys wearing girls’ jeans?
Wood: I hate the emo look. How are they going to reproduce when they get older?

Wood: In junior high I was wearing a skirt and it slit from my knee to my hip. People saw my underwear. My mom had to come bring me a pair of pants.

Wood: Sometimes.

Wood: I like the TC building or whatever it’s called. I like walking down the halls and seeing all the people.
US: How long have you had braces?
Wood: 13 months, I am really excited for tomorrow because I get them off.
US: How are you going to celebrate?
Wood: I’m going to whiten my teeth and my roommates and I are going to have a chunky bunny contest – where you see how many marshmallows you can stuff in your mouth.
US: What is it like kissing with braces?
Wood: It sucks because the guy’s lips get cut up.
US: How was that?
Wood: I could taste the blood in my mouth but we kept kissing.
US: What is your opinion on vampires?
Wood: I think it would be fun if one would come bite my neck.
US: What do you think about USU’s Howl?
Wood: I’ve heard it’s pretty scandalous.
US: What are you going to be for Halloween?
Wood: I haven’t dressed up for years; maybe I’ll be a vampire.-nnaylor@cc.usu.edu
