@JoelECarlson – Hello everyone and welcome to the Twitterivew of @AleciaPuppe this morning. Lets get started!
@AleciaPuppeExcellent!
Q – #1 So @AleciaPuppe, where did you grow up and what college did you attend?
A: I’m from Apple Valley, Minn., and a born and raised Gopher, so naturally I went to the University of Minnesota-TC!
Q – #2 I see. Now what did you study at the #UofM? What was your major and your minor?
A: I was a journalism-public relations major and I minored in French studies. Je parle le Francais un peu
Q – #3 Bon Jour @AleciaPuppe! So in taking French, have have you ever studied abroad?
A: I have! I studied in Montpellier, France, which is a large college-town off the Mediterranean for a semester..
Q – #4 I see. So how much schooling do you have in the French language, and do you Tweet in French much?
A: I studied the French language for around eight years, in high school and then in college.
Ever since I’ve been back from studying abroad, I haven’t found an outlet to practice French regularly.
I haven’t tried tweeting in French, but i’m sure there are plenty French-speaking tweeters out there to converse with!
Q – #5 So since you were in France, what have you thought of the French restaurant and bakery offerings in the Twin Cities?
A: I’m still trying to find a more traditional French bakery in the Twin Cities.
Real French baguettes/croissants are pretty hard to copy & are what I miss the most since I’ve been back in the states
so if anyone knows of any good French bakeries in town let me know!
Q – #6 @AleciaPuppe Maybe someone following can suggest a good French bakery for you to try. FAVS:restaurant, store, Fall activity & gadget.
A: favorite restaurant: Carbones on Randolph in St. Paul http://www.carbonesonrandolph.com/ – #bestpizzaever
Favorite store: have to say @Target because it’s amazing and I have five family members who work for the organization.
Favorite fall activity: Football – whether that be watching college & pro or playing in the backyard with my brother.
Favorite gadget: My @BlackBerry, don’t know how I lived without it before I got it about six months ago. BBM is my life
Q – #7 Cool. To end today, what mantra would you like to share, and what do you think will happen to the Twins & FB-Gophers?
A: Might be a cliche but I live by it… “work hard, play harder”
#Twins are going all the way! <3 #SKOL Vikings and all my love to the #Gophers… they need as much as they can get!
Thanks for the twitterview, it was fun and thanks to all for your recommendations on a French bakery. Happy monday!
@JoelECarlson – Thank you @AleciaPuppe, and have a great afternoon!
