Me

Hello. I’m Gianna.

I’m really super excited about this philosophy class. I really enjoy thinking about abstract ideas and discussing them so I’m anxious to do so in a class setting. Also, I have a lot of expectations for this class because McCarthy is, of all the people I know, the most fitting to teach a philosophy class. When I took his American Lit class Freshman year he’d often let ideas and discussions from his philosophy class creep into our curriculum. Don’t tell Fanning but I was ecstatic when I found out McCarthy got this class back.

When I’m tasked with introducing myself I automatically think about theatre. It’s always my response to ‘So what do you do?’. I’m an active member in the Young Company and I hope to study acting in New York next year. I’m also a Young Ensemble member at Lookingglass Theatre downtown. I also enjoy dancing and singing despite being relatively mediocre at both.

My entertainment preferences are often a little nerdy. I grew up on Star Wars and my cats are aptly named Luke and Leia. I’m a huge Harry Potter fan. Emily Hawkins and I even went to a Harry Potter convention a few summers ago. I really into Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, Supernatural, Hannibal, and a few other shows. My little brother is significantly nerdier than me and a Freshman at WY, so feel free to penny him.

My celebrity crush of late is Taye Diggs. There’s also something about Ethan Hawke.

I am a vegetarian.

I have a coffee addiction.

I think Sylvia Plath is lovely.

Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill, Le Tigre and Julie Ruin is my idol.

Thanks,
