Olive Pula--Role of Katherine Natty Buff--Role of Adam Question: What are your favorite subjects and why? Olive: I really like English, personally, because I just like figuring out things that aren't definite interpretations of stuff. But I do also like math because it's easier to follow. Natty: I would say history and math for me. History because I really like just learning about the world and stuff, and I think it's important. And math because I really like that everything's a set procedure and that you can just follow. It's very repetitive, and that's just easy for me to do. Question: What is your go-to daily lunch? Olive: For myself, I cannot cook at all. But when I cook for myself, the only thing that I really can cook is eggs on toast or eggs on ramen or something. I mean, eggs on ramen, especially Buldak, is really good and it's pretty easy to make at home. I make that a lot. Natty: For me, it's definitely peanut butter and jelly. I've had it every day for lunch, I think the last three years. It's just easy to make and it's always delicious, and I really like it. Question: What do you love about WDS? Olive: I think that the group of people I'm exposed to is a lot more curated than my old school. I think my other school had so many people, and it was just everyone blended together. But everyone here has such a distinct personality that it's just actually interesting to talk to everybody. Natty: Yeah, really similar to Olive. Definitely the community. I've made so many good friends here, and I'm also really close with all of my teachers, and I don't feel weird reaching out to them to ask for help or anything like that. It's just a very close bond that I don't think you could get at really many other schools except WDS. Olive: We call all the teachers by their first names. Natty: Yeah, and it's not weird. Question: How would you describe your fashion style? Olive: I would say colorful. I like to get as much color in as I can wherever I can because I think that every single color of the rainbow deserves a chance to shine, even yellow, because it's over-hated. I think that if you wear all the colors, nothing can clash. I'd say just colorful. I mean, I can say, eccentric. Natty: Very opposite to Olive. I just go pick out a shirt and go, Hmm, this is cool. What color is most like this? White or gray? Whichever the answer is, that's the other color I wear. I go more for comfort than style. I really like sweaters or very comfortable pants. I'm not really going for how I look. Question: What's your favorite event of the school year? Olive: This year so far? Maybe when I puked in Spanish class? That was funny. I didn't expect it. No one did. We were watching Home Alone, or as should I say, Solo en Casa. I came back from the bathroom and I was like, that's not normal. Then I had to go home. Natty: Mine is not as impressive as that, but I would definitely say the fashion show on the upper school trip. Every year, we do a little fashion show where we're given a category and we have to come up with outfits, use them with the clothes in our rooms, and then the teachers judge it. It's just such a fun little thing to do every year. This year, one of the themes was the industrial revolution. So someone in my group ran down to the little garden where we stayed for the upper school trip and grabbed a shovel that we used as a prop. It's just a really fun thing to come together and make a fun little outfit. Olive: Yeah, we taped a flashlight on Indigo's head to make her a coal miner! Question: What's your dream career? Olive: I want to be a tattoo artist really bad. I've already given a few sticks and pokes, but not well, and I'd like to actually get paid. Apparently, tattoo artists make a lot of money. Natty: For me, it's definitely either a director because I really love making movies and acting in them. If that doesn't work out, probably like a masseuse because they make a crazy amount of money, and I really just need my hands for that. It's a pretty easy gig. Question: How do you think your friends would describe you? Or how would you describe each other? Olive: I would describe Natty as very charming and just, what's the word? Infectious happiness. He's just so sweet. Natty: I would describe Olive as very whimsical, personally. She always has this very bubbly air about her. She's always smiling and making everyone laugh. She just has this creative energy that she brings everywhere. That’s just, it's like, Oh, it's Olive. Yay! And you just feel like you're going to have a good day. Olive: Stop, I'm blushing. This is crazy. Question: Okay. Since you two have really awesome roles in the musical this year, we had two musical questions to ask you. How long have you been acting? Olive: Well, I haven't been acting in things for a long time. I only joined the musical here when I joined the school in seventh grade, which was four years ago. But I've been doing acting classes for some time because my mom was an actress. She's in SAG now, and she really likes acting. She tried to put me in acting stuff, too. Natty: I've been acting since around the first grade in my debut role as Spoon in Beauty and the Beast. Since then, it's just been a passion of mine that I've really enjoyed doing. I've done both stuff in school and out of school. I've never really taken any formal training, but it's just such a fun thing that I really enjoy doing.
