Toyota University

Wow the other day, I don't know why it crossed my mind, but I'm so glad it did and I'm smart enough to write myself a memo in my phone so I remember to write a blog post!

My dad, my daddio, my daddy, has worked for Toyota for 30ish years. He's the best Mechanic in the city! I love him and I'm sooo proud of him.

Anyhoo, every other year or so, he gets sent off to Toyota University in Toronto, Ontario. It makes sense, if the only knowledge he was as from cars from 43 years ago, he'd have no idea how to fix a new Prius.

As a kid I remember we would go with him, and stay at a hotel and have special daddy time! I mean yeah he had to go to class, but I remember sitting in the hotel room reading!! How young was I?? I have no idea... I'd have to be old enough to be left alone....

I love going on daddy dates! I love feeling like I'm the most special girl in the world, and dad's have the power to make that happen!

High School?

What was high school? I barely remember it.... a conversation was spawned between Nick and I yesterday after I went to Mariah's school. Her class period was only 50 minutes long, and I thought that was strange, but Nick said it was normal. I was pretty sure when I was in in High School we took 4 classes a day at 2 hours each. That means that the semesters that we had "spare's" or "sdfjsdfjs;" as American's call it, we could have potentially had a semester that included: band, sewing, and history or something like that. I started re-calling classes that I took:

@CCI:
Business with Mrs. Zeleski-McCauley, and Gym with her too (then I remembered we had to wear gross Gym Uniforms... eeww)
Band: with Mrs. (DJfSLDFJ)
French - with Mrs. Rodriguez, which I was in when 9/11 happened
I think I maybe remember having Math on the 3rd floor with a skinny old man teacher.
Geography - with Mr. Woods
History - with Mr. Dutry - AWESOME Class


Yearbook was an extra curricular I believe.

@CKSS:
Entrepreneurial Studies with Mr. Hunt (the Vice Principle)
Economics with Mr. (sdfsdfsdf) (he had long silver hair wore Hawaiian shirts) - we almost always had a Timmies run in that class - Josh Kenney would go pick up the entire class's orders!
Yearbook - was a class - I took it.
Band - with Mr. (sdfsdlflsk)
I took 2 History Classes with Mr. Leidl - one where we learned about Napoleon, and 1 American History class.
Sewing class. I made PJ's (button top and pants) and some kind of stuffed cat teddy bear thing.


That's all I remember.... sad right? 4 years of High School. 8 Classes a year. 32 total classes and I only remember.....13ish - cuz I did take band more than once at each school, but I don't remember how many times....1x a year makes sense.
