Homeschooling Kiwi Style

22-Oct-2009

13 Things about me

1.  My favourite colour is purple

2.  I LOVE licorice, especially allsorts and RJ's Natural Licorice.

3.  I nearly finished a Bachelor of Science Degree, majoring in Zoology. 

     Maybe one day I'll finish it...

4.  I am the oldest of 6 children (3 boys and 3 girls)

5.  I have lived in 16 different homes, 7 before I was married, and 9 after.

6.  I have passed grade 7 practical piano, thanks to my parents providing me

     with lessons and encouraging me to practice every day.  I love that I can

     now sit down and play a piece for pleasure. 

7.  I never play piano in church because I get too nervous.

8.  I lived in Australia for four years.

9.  I rode a camel in Adelaide, South Australia.

10. I love diagramming sentences.

11. I am scared of spiders, but I have held a giant weta.

12. I have only been to the South Island of New Zealand once, to a

      youth camp.

13. I cannot figure out why homeschoolblogger doesn't let me space between lines on my blogposts when I change the font...

Nice to read so interesting stuff about you Rachael. # 10 is amazing! Most home schooled kids would find it hard to believe but you might have been handy mum to have around when we were struggling with diagraming!
I haven't visited your blog for ages but popped over from Jeanne's.

Oh, and about your 13... :-)
#1 - My favorite color is purple, too!
#7 - I love to play the piano and used to play in church, but think I'd be pretty scared now. I have a mini-recital this Saturday!!!
#11 - I love spiders. :-) We used to have pet tarantulas as children. People might guess that about me from my blog.
