High School!

Okay part two of my teachers!
I will not go through all my high school teachers, just the ones that were great or funny or crazy!

Ms. Hupfer-Riedel- my TAC teacher, or for you non-Pius-ers, my homeroom teacher. Loved her dearly. She was crazy and always wanted to do crazy things during TAC, like TAC olympics, but she cared about as a TAC and paid attention to us. She was a chemistry teacher, so she helped me with my chemistry, which was great. (I still hate chemistry though)

Mr. Kangas- by far the best teacher at Pius! He was awesome!. I had him for AP U.S. History, which was great because he loved history so he went really slow. We talked about the Civil War for like 2 months! Good times! Plus, my best friend Gosia was in my class and he let us talk to each other in class. I always got B's on the tests. Great class! And he let us watch part of Newsies! :)

Ms. Frikovich- the first day of class she told us to call her Ms. Fuck-a-bitch! Ha , a tad innapproiate at a Catholic school.....whatever. She was fun, but she challenged me like no other English teacher I've had. She knew I was half-assing her class and she called me on it. Never had a english teacher do that. I always did good in English. She was good, but I didn't like her methods all that much.....everyone has a C until you earn a better grade....annoying. I wrote a crappy play in her Creative Writing class, wish I had more time to write it, now I have tons of ideas for a play. :)

Jay- my physics teacher, who I called by his first name (he didn't give consent, I just did it) so I can't remember his last name. He was a hoot. We watched 5 seconds of Titanic in class so we could measure how long it took the guy to fall who hit the propeller, so we could calculate his velocity (as if that movie was accurate to how long it took the guy to hit the propeller). He made us watch the videos of a college physics professor, so he didn't have to teach. Good times....I learned nothing, and somehow got a B in the class.

Bonnie- I actually had consent to call her by her first name, my choir teacher. Scary and amazing, although from a previous post, you can read how I felt about her by senior year. Plus a teacher should never call me "Little Dix" on the first day of class, just because I have older sisters. SO EMBARASSING!

Ms. McCann- my communuications, Modes of Lit, and British Lit teacher! So much fun! She let me talk to Gosia and Ryan in class, and she liked my writing style, plus we watched movies all the time. We got to watch the whole Pride and Prejudice movie (the 5 hour BBC version) in class. I think I was the only one that enjoyed it, though.

Mr. Witte- my Pius dad! I loved him! He was one of the Campus Ministers and was awesome. Always willing to sit down and talk with you. He always made time for me during the day and went out of his way to see how I was doing.

Mr. McCauly- My Great Thinkers in the Church teacher! Awesome! My favorite quote...."Hello children of God" I learned so much from him. He taught us some of my now favorite Saints. :)

That's it for now.....next is college! Isn't this fun?

The book this time is:
Ramona books (Beverly Clearly) I love them, even though I am too old for them. They make me smile, plus they remind me of when I was Ramona's age :)
