So here's my story....

A long time ago, in a faraway land, there was a highschool senior who wanted to go into science (to be a vet) but thought she was too stupid (which she wasn't) so chose another subject she was good in - French.
Well a person just can't study French can they? What use is that? So she ventured North to a cold land and entered the Translators and Interpreters programme at Laurentian University.
While she loved the school, her new friends, and yes even the residence, she did not have the same love for her programme. It was alright, but she was barely making the grade. She did however realize, after taking Greek and Roman civ as an elective, that she really liked Classics.
Thus, in order to save money, she moved back home and started her venture at the University of Windsor as a double major in French and Classics. (She couldn't give up on French after all - she might not've been great in translating, but she still loved the language!)
It was at this time that she crossed paths with a former friend who was in a sorority (DZ) which sparked an interest in herself. This of course lead to her wonderful affiliation with the greatest sorority of all time - Phi Sigma Sigma!!!
The fair maiden continued her studies for another 2 years before seriously considering her options. She wanted to continue her studies but since she only had 1 year of Latin there's no way she'd be able to continue in Classics. After hearing advice from friends and family, and after years of people saying "you'd be a great teacher!", she went against her heart and in her fifth year of study applied for the B.Ed programme for the following year.
She graduated with her BA honours in French and Classics in June 2001 and loved going to the ceremony (since she missed her HS grad).
Starting her 6th year of university, 1st(and only) year of the bachelor of education, she still had reservations. The first few weeks of class went by, things were looking ok...

oops gotta go
