High school survey

[gemfyre]

1. Who was your best friend?
Sarah overall (now known as lotus79), but sometimes Maree or Caroline (annyka).

2. What sports did you play?
None. I got out of sports as much as possible. I hate how they just expected you to know how to play the game and when you didn't because you'd never been taught all you got was berated. Screw phys. ed.

3. What kind of car did you drive?
Drive? I didn't get my licence until just before I turned 18, a year after finishing high school.

4. It's Friday night, where were you at?
At home. I had no social life in high school. Actually, I think quite a few Friday nights were spent at the youth centre watching school bands play.

5. Were you a party animal?
I fancied myself as one, but see above answer.

6. Were you in the "In Crowd"?
Hell no. I was in the "Weirdos who hang out by/in the library" crowd.

7. Ever skip school?
Nope.

8. Ever smoke?
Nope

9. Were you a nerd?
Umm, I'm not sure.

10. Did you get suspended/expelled?
No

11. Can you sing the Alma Mater?
Ah this is some American thing that I don't get.

12. Who was your favorite teacher?
Mr Coultas and Mr Musto, the two coolest Human Biology teachers ever - I think they were half the reason Human Biol was the only subject I passed. Mr Skipworth was also very cool, when he taught maths I actually did really well.

13. Favorite class?
Human Biology, it actually made some sense to me.

14. What was your school's full name?
Swan View Senior High School

15. School mascot?
The logo was a swan...

16. Did you go to Prom?
I went to both school balls. They both sucked. Probably due to my lack of friends/social life. And the music was generally crap too.

17. If you could go back and do it over, would you?
Yes and no.

18. What do you remember most about graduation?
Wearing all black and the photo turning out really dark because of it. Having my hair pulled back into an awful bun which I hated. 1979 and It's The End Of The World As We Know It got played.

19. Favorite memory of your Senior Year?
Holidaying in Kalbarri and Monkey Mia during the first break.

20. Were you ever posted up on the senior wall?
I don't think we had a senior wall.

21. Did you have a job your senior year?
I was a checkout chick, had been since I was 14 and I stayed there until I was 20 and they deemed me too old to keep paying.

22. Who did you date?
No. Social. Life.

23. Where did you go most often for lunch?
Out the front of the library or down near the transportables.

24. Have you gained weight since then?
Shit yeah. I was a svelte 55 kilos in high school. I could get away with wearing anything. But I usually wore oversize band shirts and jeans however.

25. What did you do after graduation?
Got into TAFE doing a course I really didn't want to do. Bah.
Or you mean straight after? Slept I imagine.

You went to Swan View??

When?

[vegetus.livejournal.com]

No, but I went to another school in the area and knew a few kids who went to Swan View, or transfer in from Swan View. I graduated high school in 1997.
