The day is over before we know it!

Most embarrassing moment? I arrived to the Lima airport for the last time In December, returning home after a wonderful study abroad experience. Anxious and ready to take my flight home, I was so excited that I kept imagining myself reuniting with family and friends. At 10pm I decided to finally go through airport security. When I approached the gate, I removed my belt, shoes, hat and put everything in a bin to go through the scanner. When I walked through security, I saw that my bag was being searched. As I ran over to see what was going on, a gift I had purchased earlier in Peru was revealed to everyone! This gift, for a close friend – I tell you – was titled “The Huge Penis Book”. With the penis that covered the entirety of the book, haunting me, I felt the need to say to the officer searching my things, ”That’s for a friend…!” The man nodded and continued to look through my bag until he found a small pair of scissors in my first aid kit. He said “You can’t travel with these”. I nodded, grabbed my things stuffed the book back in my bag and said – “Gracias.” 

What is your most treasured possession? My 11 nieces/nephews.

If your life were a movie, which celebrity would play you and why? If my life were a movie, Natalie Portman would play me. Her riveting performance and dedication to dance in Black Swan was not only inspiring but, quite frankly, crazy. However, she might have to shave her head one more time.

If you had one superpower what would it be and why? Psychometry. This would lend itself to some pretty amazing discoveries.  

How do you feel about being this week’s Campus Cutie? It’s been a blast–I only hope I’ve done my best following those other cuties before me.
