Didn’t update last night, was too busy shopping and only got home around eleven-ish, too late to start the computer thing.......

Went shopping around with Spiro and Gen (both friends from work). We had a really fun time, didn’t find anything which was a real bummer, but what can you do right?

So i’ve decided to take part in the friday five. It seems like fun, so I’ll try it out.


1. What was/is your favourite subject in school? Why?

School seems like such a long time ago... And for some reason when I saw the question, I though automatically of high school... In high school, my favourite subject was math. I was no wiz at it, but I really loved it. I just found it fascinating, too bad liking math wasn’t the cool thing to be doing... But I guess my favourite class out of all my schooling would be my Drawing from observation class in cejep. It was the best. I had it twice a week for three hours. Three hours of doing what i loved to do,I miss it and sometimes think of taking a drawing class....


2. Who was your favourite teacher? Why?

My math teach Mr.Bent was awesome. Very smart, very enthusiastic about mathematics. My drawing class teacher, Darren Milington, was incredible. Before I took his class, i could draw, but nothing like I could after his class. He taught me so much! He taught me how to see things in a different light and as soon as that clicked, my drawings got better and better and because he was so passionate about art, he made YOU passionate about it.


3. What is your favourite memory of school?

Oh geez, I don’t know. I guess the happiest school time for me was in like grade one-two, when school wasn’t all about having to know everything and all you though about was recess. School was a really rough time for me, it was never easy. High school was ok, but who didn’t suffer a little in that time? Cejep...I guess it was fun drawing and painting. Actually I guess my second semester at Dawson was the best. I was really enjoying my classes (the ones I was going to) and I was having fun designing rooms and houses....Oh and when I got into fine arts, that was a real happy moment for me. We had to pass an interview and show our portfolios to the head of the fine arts department and had to do a drawing test and I remember getting ta call that even though there was no more room, the really wanted me to be there and believed that I had what it took to be in the fine arts program, I cried and cried because I was s happy!


4. What was your favourite recess game?

I used to like the swings. I loved the feeling of when you got way up high that maybe if you let go, you could fly. And I guess just running around, I used to like to run, play tag and stuff like that. Tetter-totter;s too I liked, but not when the other kid gave bumps..”Ballon Poire” was fun too..oh and jump rope..I remember this one time at recess I wanted to go play on the “toupie”. It’s like a big top and there are seats all around and you run around and then jump on and it spins and goes up and down. Anyways I wanted to play on it and it was only for bigger older kids but I though I could go so I ran around with them and when it was time to jump on it was going around too fast and I couldn’t get on and ended up being dragged around and around and the force of it pulled my skirt and underpants off.....then I peed in my , well, my pants were no longer there so I guess I just peed...How embarrassing! At least I was really young so it’s not like I was 13 or anything, but embarrassing just the same! Why I just told you that, I don’t really know but I was laughing pretty hard when i wrote it...


5. What did you hate most about school?

The mean kids. Even tough I was one of them I hated being picked on in high School. Feeling alone in that time in a persons life is ruff. I was never really popular, but not un-popular either, more in the middle. But I guess when i look back It was alright. I don’t know if I think that because I’m more mature now or what, but it’s behind me now. I also hated gym. And the gym teach Mrs.Kralik. What a bitch. I remember she failed my fried Shoshanna (who was overweight) because when we were doing gymnastics, she couldn’t do a cartwheel. And it you couldn’t do a handstand you failed too. Or do a cartwheel on the balance bean, you failed. Basically if you couldn’t do what she asked you to, you failed! And when I told her it wasn’t fair, I failed.
