Amanda

Hello! I'm Amanda Montgomery, student at Groveton High School in Groveton New Hampshire (if you don't know where that is, you're not alone!). I am one of the members of the 1996 M&M; Program at UNH. As far as this program goes, it's not what you might think. We don't sit and listen to lectures all day. We do many exciting teamwork activities, the best of which is the competitive sport of volleyball, and here's a little hint for all future M&Mers: Gregg's team always loses! Anyways, I would definitely recommend this program to any interested ninth grader.

On a more personal note, my favorite word is gaschtalt (gash-talt). My hobbies include acting and doing technical work in the Drama Club, singing, playing the alto saxophone (jammin' on it is very gaschtalt, by the way), and picking on Gregg (mainly because of his stupid nickname, Greggamiah the Greggarious Green Crab; and because he starts playing the "air drums" whenever Dr. Dave starts talking about marine biology. You would really have to know Gregg to understand why).

Anyways, the staff here is really great and they really know what they're talking about, except an un-named air drummer who has an incredibly swollen head :-). I know so much more now than when I came here a week and a half ago and I understand most of it, with the exception of statistics; it gets a little confusing. We do serious work, but we have a lot of fun in the process.
