Daily Lobo: Why are you majoring in education?
Genell Burns: That’s a good question.
DL: Why are you carrying a gallon of water?
GB: I get thirsty sometimes.
DL: How many gallons of water do you think you drink a day?
GB: Um, less than one.
DL: Are you supposed to drink a gallon of water a day? Is that what’s healthy?
GB: Yeah, and if you’re active I think you’re supposed to drink more than that.
DL: Really?
GB: Yeah, but that’s a lot of bathroom time.
DL: How many more years until you graduate?
GB: Hopefully two, but I’m actually thinking about going back to film, because education is a lot more difficult than I thought it was going to be. I’m actually going to be doing the film program at CNM simultaneously, and I’m writing my thesis this year and doing the film program this year.
DL: What’s your thesis on?
GB: I’m still trying to figure that out. I was thinking, like, what goes into making a successful student in today’s society, because I’m sure it was a lot different than it was 30 years ago.
