My Friday Five for September 13, 2002

1. What was/is your favorite subject in school? Why?
   Well, I suppose that would be the study halls in high school where I worked in the computer lab. Not really a class, but all the computer classes I took were aimed at people who didn't know them as well as I did.

2. Who was your favorite teacher? Why?
   Kind of a toss-up between my high school physics teacher, "Weird" Al Preston, and the chemistry teacher, Mr. Peterson. They were both great - didn't take much seriously and would let you get away with damn near anything, just so long as you knew the material.

3. What is your favorite memory of school?
   Nothing springs to mind.

4. What was your favorite recess game?
   Oh, sure - I was supposed to be playing games at recess? Sheesh... I hung out with my friends and maybe ran around a little or climbed on the playground equipment. Games? Some people...

5. What did you hate most about school?
   Being there. Being subjected to the endless tedium of classes on subjects which were generally of minimal interest to me, yet I still knew them better than the class required, while waiting for the slowest kids in class to finally grasp the basics of the subject.
