My teacher was similar to yours, Tess.
I hated Sophie's World by the way. I do own The Fishbowl by Jostein Gaarder, but never got past the first chapter.

I have no idea. I'm not even sure if that's the name of the book in English, but it does have something to do with a fish bowl. The book is somewhere in the bottom crate stacked behind my desk. In other words: unreachable.

We read sophie's world in my English class. I had trouble because i kept reading ahead.
I don't actually remember the book at all, but my general feeling is that it was a good book. I finished it. If a book sucked, I didn't finish it and then faked my way through the test.

I thought so... however I believe the narrowing period will have to wait till after I have a better idea of just what I'm interested in. Hopefully reading a few of the books my teacher has suggested will help me get a clearer idea of what I'm enjoying about the subject.

Yes, I had to check to twice to see what happened. At first I though my ad-banner had failed.

I don't like it. It makes me feel like I'm in Mordor-Moot. Also it's not quite April 1 yet.

Let it be known for posterity: it takes approximately 20 months of recklessly dashing across the streets of Toronto to get hit by a bus.

Okay, I thought the exact same thing; when I texted my brother, I told him not to worry, the bus was not hurt. Great minds . . .
But naw, just I started to cross on my light, he apparently didn't see me cause it was dark and raining, and started to turn right. I stepped back, but not quite in time, and got ever so slightly ploughed into. The driver was horrified, but no damage done. I got all giddy afterwards; I highly recommend the experience.

Get hit by a bus... Check. Any other o-so-great life tips? But good that you're OK.
