Business freshman doesn't mind the cold, but certainly minds an inquisitive reporter

Wildcat: Hi, I'm Claire from The Arizona Daily Wildcat and you're on the spot.

Senkyrikova: Oh my god. OK.

Wildcat: So, tell me something, are you crazy or are you from Antarctica? I noticed that you're wearing very short shorts and it's freezing outside.

Senkyrikova: I actually didn't have any clean pants, so yeah ... I just wore shorts and toughed it out. And I just came from the Rec Center, so you don't even feel it because you're all sweaty and stuff.

Wildcat: So is it a general practice of yours not to do laundry?

Senkyrikova: No! No! No! I swear I do laundry ... it's just that ... it was just ... like ... I dunno ... I don't have an excuse. But I do laundry.

Wildcat: So is it just that you only own two pairs of pants?

Senkyrikova: No! What is this, an interrogation or something?

Wildcat: Yes. On a lighter note, if you had to make up your own Care Bear character, who would you be?

Senkyrikova: Oh god ... Waterbear.

Wildcat: Any particular reason?

Senkyrikova: Well, I like to drink water and I like to swim, and I think water's awesome.

Wildcat: OK. Well, it'd probably help keep your clothes a lot cleaner than they obviously are right now.

Senkyrikova: (Pointing fork) You know, you're pushing it!

Wildcat: Are you going to use that fork against me?

Senkyrikova: I might fling some mashed potatoes at you.

Wildcat: Well, I haven't eaten yet today so that might actually work out for me. I also see that you're also eating a cold salad ...

Senkyrikova: With warm broccoli ...

Wildcat: Interesting. Well, try not to spill any of it on your shirt, because you might not have anything else to wear.

Senkyrikova: For the record, I have clean clothes and I always smell good.

Wildcat: Ha, ha. All right, I'll believe ya.
