1. Honors English my Junior year I had a wild teacher who introduced me to my favorite literary genre, Fatalism. I knew early on in my schooling that I wanted to study literature.
2. It has been easily 5 to 7 years. Which is strange because I used to love writing letters.
3. Peanut Butter cookies

1. Algebra, American history, some English classes. I suppose the history led me to be a poli sci major.
2. Sometime early last year.
3. Oatmeal raisin. Full of cholesterol fighting oats AND iron-rich raisins. (Which is NOT why I like it.)

1. I had three years of classes with one teacher and they were all my favorites. I went to a pretty small high school - I had him for 10th grade Honors English, Speech, Journalism and Creative Writing. He pushed me to read books I normally wouldn't and allowed me to work at my own pace with extra projects. I don't think it much shaped my college experience, but my varied reading tastes today are because of him. I've actually kept in touch with him a bit and I believe he reads my blog once in a while.
2. A month or so ago. One of my random goals for this year is to write and send a letter each month. Don't ask me why.
3. A tie between Snickerdoodles (slightly undercooked and straight from the freezer) and Chocolate Chip.

1. one of my favorite classes was typing my senior year. i'd been typing for a long time, but that class was just a fun time, different associations and i learned some good skills (memo writing byatch!). and it helpled me fo sho in college w/my paper writing. i also liked my art classes, and ended up w/that as one of my majors.
2. last physical letter (i assume you mean handwritten) was in high school. i used to have a few friends in l.a. that i corresponded with. man, now that would have been hella easier now with email, text, etc.
3. i love sugar cookies.

1) Latin/Ancient Greek - I read a lot of mythology/Roman history as a kid (from my love of comics), and there's nothing like translating epic poems in their original language.
2)Last year - sent a brief note to the woman who hired me and brought me to St. Louis. It was a one page letter, handwritten, with my e-mail.
3) Oreos!
