Welcome to the 8th instalment of ATAR Notes' Ask Me Anything series!

Hope everyone is happy to be done with exams! We are now ready to continue the AMA series with a new person of interest: insanipi! Insanipi was a student of the class of 2016 and is also well known as our resident water cooler mod. Below is a written submission written by her.

Quote
Hi! I'm insanipi. Some of you know me as that water-cooler mod. I recently finished year 12 and studied Chemistry, Physics, Mathematical Methods, English and Specialist Maths. In my spare time, I read books (especially anything that is crime/mystery/spy genre), play arcade games and rollerskate. A random fact is that I have a coloured-in picture of pikachu on my wall, for no apparent reason. I am also the undisputed Monopoly champ at my place- hence why my siblings don't play it with me anymore :P

Ask away!

That is a good question. I believe it to be when I was little and agreed to the my parents' decision to make me sing and dance as a tiny little primary kid, haha. :)

What are you planning to be up to next year? Do you have any long term career/study goals or are you winging it a little bit for the moment? ;D

Honestly, I'm mostly winging it, however study-wise, I'm definitely looking at doing either a straight science or pharmaceutical science degree 8) (cue my obsession with the chemical structures I have chucked on my wall as well :P )

I haven't read for pleasure since the start of VCE and have no idea what I enjoy anymore. I did like Maus, Persepolis, behind the beautiful forevers and 1984 quite a bit. Got any recommendations for me (perhaps historical/journalistic novels)

What will you do now that you can't worship at the Temple of J? ;)

Who is your favourite teacher at your school, and how has Harko they influenced you?

That, my friend, is a trick question. :P
There was never a Temple of J- it was completely a figment of a certain member of the spesh/methods class' imagination. :P

Who is your favourite teacher at your school, and how has Harko they influenced you?
Favourite teacher at school had to be M- she's probably the equivalent crazy to me. ;)

H- influenced me to believe that it is okay to be a rapper sometimes. :P (#V-Diddy ftw)

But in all seriousness, M totally inspired to pursue my passions, and she influenced me to be as loud as possible when it isn't necessary (cue times I have spoken too loudly in methods/spesh for that reason). ;)

I honestly have no clue, but let's say the chicken came first. :P

Not a question but you should do advanced science instead. I hear it's pretty dope, with one of the best chemistry mentors this side of the world. 8)


So why monopoly? Why not play a game where everyone has fun and enjoy themselves?

Points for advertising :P

Monopoly, is what I feel is more a chance based game, rather than skill. (Thus the reason I suck at chess, hahaha, I guess you could say I get 'squished' every time I play. :P )
I guess I just like Monopoly more than other games (bar Cluedo- Cluedo is great fun, too) because I seem to usually be extremely lucky in it. :P
