Favourite Things (cont.)

     Alright, before I continue my list of favourite things, I'd like to talk about my day. I'm writing this now because I have two ISPs* today in addition to my spare!! so I only had to go to one class today! And that was English media, and most of the people I don't like weren't there today! It was great fun. :P and I talked with my teacher about how unfair my English 3U teacher has been with projects, and she completely agreed. :) so yeah today has been great.
     Tomorrow is Semi Formal and I'm totally psyched for it. :) I get to wear this pretty dress my mum bought for me last weekend, and go and dance and hang out with my friends! It will be the first high school dance I've ever been to. Which is a little pathetic, but also not in a way, as I've had better things to do with my time than waste money on silly dances. This and Prom will probably be the only high school dances I ever go to, but I'm fine with that. :)

*a spare period that is given to students when the teacher is absent from class, but they're only allowed for gr. 11 and 12 students.

On to the favourites list!

6. Favourite Book (that I've read recently)
     Stolen Innocence by Elissa Wall and Lisa Pulitzer
     This book is about Ellisa Wall's life in the FLDS church, becoming a teenage bride, and breaking free of the oppressive church and lifestyle. It's a heart-wrenching true story, but also very empowering. I think everyone should give it a read and learn more about the FLDS church and the terrible things that happen to children in that community, so we can try to stop it.

7. Favourite Food
     Perogies or Noodle-wrapped shrimp
     Perogies are mashed potato and cheese wrapped in a pasta sort of dough and boiled. They are DELICIOUS, especially when dipped in sour cream. side, but soft and scrumptious on the inside.
     Noodle-wrapped shrimp are so much better than regular shrimp. They're hard and crunchy on the outside, but soft and scrumptious on the inside.

OM NOM NOM!

Delicious!

8. Favourite Subject in School
     Chemistry/French
     I love doing experiments and watching reactions between acids and elements. It amazes me how something can catch on fire just by touching another substance like water. It's great! Oh and the gummy bear experiment that our teacher showed us last year was amazing! You can watch a video of it here. You melt potassium chlorate and then drop in a gummy bear and watch what happens! :) I love chemistry because all of the work is pretty straight forward. You watch stuff happen, and explain why it happened. It's pretty simple. I'm really good at memorizing things, so that also helps with my love of Chemistry.
     My love of French class is rather obvious to anyone who knows me well. I LOVE the French language. With a passion. It's just so beautiful and hypnotizing. I am good at writing and understanding some French. I still have a lot to learn, and I'm very eager to learn it (as nerdy as that sounds). I am (hopefully) going on a trip to Quebec this July to do the Explore program, and I'm really excited for it. :D

9. Favourite Drink
     Coffee
     I love the smell, the taste, everything about it. It has to be made right though, otherwise it just tastes like hot water. It helps get me up in the morning and act like a regular person.

10. Favourite Colour
     Purple
     Not sure why, it just always has been. I have many purple clothes, and I think it looks quite good on me. :)
