Something random: There's a Congresswoman in New Mexico that has the same name as me. My math teacher e-mailed her my junior year to let her know, but I guess she didn'tthink it a very pressing issue because she never wrote back. ALSO - Laura Mortimer will become a debutante on November 25th, 2005.
Why you chose Amherst: Why I chose Amherst: Amherst has a very active and close-knit community. Academically, the open curriculum allows you to take control of your own education right from the start and the small class sizes ensure that you are an actual person rather than just a number. Running-wise, the XC team is an awesome and talented group of people, the coaching is great, and there are tons of trails to run.
