Monologue

Hi. My name is Melanie as you probably all know, and as you might remember from English class my last name is Vietnamese, but I’m full Filipino. I don’t really know how to describe myself at all, so I guess I’ll just tell you some basics. I love to laugh, and I’ll find any excuse to laugh. Unfortunately, I tend to laugh extremely hard at inappropriate times (i.e. Ji Won Seo’s story-telling speech in COM 1010). I tend to be really sarcastic a lot of the time, and I get scared very easily (i.e., Murder int he Cathedral). I know this is extremely random, but whatever – I’ve come to really hate tight clothes. I guess it’s because when I go out to eat and I want to stuff myself, at the end of the night I look really unattractive; plus, looser clothes are a lot more comfortable. I really like to eat; I love trying new foods, and I can’t name my favorite cuisine. I’ll eat almost anything, besides pigeon and chicken feet. I try to stay away from spicy foods too, but I love curry and kimchi. I listen to all different kinds of music and last Thursday I went to a Justin Nozuka concert – everything about it was amazing. I love romantic comedies, and comedies in general. I watch Gossip Girl and the Jersey Shore kind of religiously; other than that though, I don’t really watch TV… Ever. I dorm at 101 Ludlow, and it’s been fun so far. College has been alright. To be honest, it still feels like summer for me – school is only four days a week, there isn’t much work to do besides reading, and I still get to hang out with my friends a lot. I’m glad I’m in a learning community. It’s nice seeing familiar faces in every class and it’s helped me make friends. It really is nice to go to the same people for homework and whatnot. A lot of people say it’s like high school, but at Townsend nobody really asked anyone for help with the homework. Anyway, I feel like this is getting long so I’ll end it here.
