Inglenook.

I went to an information session yesterday at Inglenook. The school seems pretty cool, even though it's "borderline Regent Park" as Geoff said. There are 2 floors of classrooms, and both have only these small square hallways, yet it still manages to be confusing with where the student lounge and kitchen are and stuff lol. Plus the numbers on the doors aren't clear. Though, that shouldn't be TOO difficult to figure out, since, y'know, there are only 8 classrooms and all. The classrooms have couches to sit on instead of desks and chairs, which is cool. Also, there are only 130 students, and 6 teachers (who you skip the formalities with and just call by their first names), and the secretary is a man named Paul, lol. It seems like a pretty good school, definitely a completely different experience from the 2000-student, lost in the masses, pile on the homework school I currently attend. It was kinda funny, Rob (one of the teachers) actually said "Yay!" when I asked him and another teacher, Athina, about setting up an interview. He said something about taking refuge there, because I'd told him what I school I go to now haha. Made me feel slightly like a kid coming outta the ghetto. But aaanyhoo, my interview is on Wednesday at 10:00am. I have to write a one-page essay on an educational question, and then actually get interviewed. But I believe Ashley said that one of the questions included in her interview was "If you could be any animal, what would you be?" So yeah.. I'm not too worried. The teachers are kind of hippy-like (Athina was walking around in this flowy skirt, in bare feet, and wearing an anklet) If I do get in, I'll be taking Modern Western Civilizations first period (because Ashley's fourth period Economics class is full, I'm gonna try to get on the waiting list though), then English with Ash, and grade 11 Biology with Ashley again. Yep.
