WEEKEND Q+A #5: CALEBARK
FRIDAY 6TH JULY: 5PM - 8PM
A LITTLE ABOUT CALEBARK
Yooooooo,
My name's Caleb, and I'm one of ATAR Notes' favourite reptiles!
I studied Year 12 in 2016 and 2017, where I completed Biology, Physics, Chemistry, English, and Further Mathematics, in addition to proudly dropping out of University Extension. I've deferred my first-year position at Monash Science for a year while I earn some dosh and, more importantly, try to figure out what I want in life.
My VCE was filled with some fun extra challenges, the most notable one being a few months spent homeless, which is why I'd be more than keen to try and help with any questions about dealing with disadvantage in secondary education. I've also got a spare bit of wisdom for dealing with independent living, three-year VCEs, and memes -- however I am more than happy to deal with any sort of question.
In other parts of my life, I spend too much time listening to music, finding the next dog to pet, and coming last at weekly trivia.

Have you seen that secret section of the forum where they ______________ about you yet?
Seen it?? Of course I have! I even have a screenshot!

What drew you to science?
What's the story behind the iconic tortoise pic?
Hmm, good question. I think it was strongly influenced by my time spent in hospital as a kiddie. For some context, I was born almost four months premature, so I had a whole host of health issues as a young one, meaning I spent a lot of time in hospital. As all kids, I asked a lot of questions about what was going on. What does surgery do? What does blood do? Why do I need to drink more water? How do X-Rays work? My superhero nurses would always take the time to provide answers (in very simple terms, obviously), so that exposed me to how things worked. They really helped stoke my curiosity, which led to me always wanting answers for everything. Science is all about finding answers, so hey, why not seek a career in that.

It wasn't until much later that I realised it was actually a tortoise. I'm at the point where I feel like I can't change it, so I may as well keep this very cute tortoise
Couldn't just choose one to ask so:
What's your favourite meme?
What makes a dog a good boy/girl?
Favourite recipe to make?
this Maginot Line meme killed me the other day

This question makes no sense. All dogs are good boys/girls by default
Mish mash! It's pretty much an omelette mixed with capsicum, onion, tomato, parsley, and feta. You can find a good recipe for it here! :)
If you had to pick between pizza, noodles, ice cream or spaghetti, what would you pick?
I am 20 years old, the answer must be pizza
If you had to hide a large bulky object from and intimate individual, where would you hide it?
The 2nd page of Google. If that's not allowed, I would tie it to slightly ugly stray cat
I was at work last night, so I had time to stockpile my questions. You asked for this, Kale! ;D
1. If you could only put 3 ingredients in a taco, what would they be? Justify your answer with great seriousness.
2. On average, how many hours a day do you listen to music?
3. Have you ever belonged to a cult?
4. What is your intellectual stance on the word 'yeet'?
5. Are you reading any books right now you'd like to share an opinion of?
6. What is your favourite food recipe of all time?
7. Do you believe in the Mothman? Bigfoot? Chupacabra? Why/why not?
8. What's a strange quirk you pride yourself on having?
9. Is it true you really know JFK's descendant?
Thank you, thank you.
I regret everything
1. Spiced, ground beef. This is where most of the flavour, texture, and protein comes from. My second ingredient would be lettuce to combat the salt I always inadvertently overload taco beef with. The third ingredient would be black beans so I can pretend I am being remotely healthy
2. Oh fuck, good question. I listen to music whenever constantly -- usually while doing other things. Probably anywhere from three to five hours, although this increases heaps whenever I get obsessed with a new artist
3. all hail the acorn
4. I don't think you can use 'intellectual' and 'yeet' in the same sentence. Regardless, it is the single greatest contribution to the English language
5. I'm rereading All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, which is about a blind French girl and a German boy in Paris during the midst of WWII. The only thoughts I can share on it without spoling it is that I highly recommend it
6. Well, my favourite to cook myself is mish mash (re: Insanipi's question on page 1), just because it is a) easy, b) cheap except for the feta, and c) tasty. In general, however, I love this egg recipe

7. I'd really love to, but I feel like animals that large and notorious would have to be seen by something more than a blurry camera operated by drunk people, so I'm going to say no on this one :( there's probably some pretty rad undiscovered creatures in the ocean of monster-level-of-cool
8. Every time without fail I will bless myself quietly after sneezing, even if somebody else does it for me
