Meet Elizabeth Durham!

For Current Events class we had to interview a Linworth student, I got to interview Elizabeth Durham. So here it goes!

Q: What made you decide to want to come to Linworth?
A: I was really interested in the experimental learning. I also really liked how the school was set up less structured because I didn't like how structured middle school was.

Q:What do you think has changed most about you since you came to Linworth?
A: You might not be able to tell, but I'm actually less shy than I was before I came here. I really used to not talk to anyone but now I'm not afraid to talk to people.

Q: What Linworth Teacher has had the biggest influence on you?
A: Most of them, really. All the teachers have been my favorite teachers that I've had.


Q: Is there also a student who has had a big influence on you?
A: No, I can't really say that there has been.

Q: Do you have any walkabout plans? If yes, what are they?
A: I know that I definitely want to do something with photography. I also wanted to go to Toronto, but I'm not sure about that anymore.

Q: Have your past interims had any influence on your walkabout plans?
A: Yes, for my sophomore year I did an independent study in photography. And for this year, my junior year I worked at Midwest Photo Exchange.

Q: After high school do you plan on attending college?
A: Yes.

Q: Do you have any ideas on where you want to go? What do you think you will be studying?
A: I've been looking at tons of art schools but I'm not limiting myself to that. I know I want to study photography but I haven't made a final decision.

Now for some randoms!

Q: What's your favorite food?
A: I don't really have one. I could say pizza because I really like it, but it's not my favorite.

Q: What are your hobbies?
A: Photography. I just got my Digital SLR for Christmas last year but before that I had just been playing around with my crappy point-and-shoot.

Q: What's your favorite color? Why?
A: I've always liked blue, but I don't know why.

Q: If you only had to listen to two bands for the rest of your life, what would they be?
A: Probably The Flaming Lips and The Tragically Hip.

Bye Bye Veganism (sorry to say, you won't be missed)

I'm sad to say that I am no longer a vegan. (I am remaining a vegetarian though.) I decided to make the switch back due to my boyfriend's and mum's concerns about me not getting enough calcium. I'm also going to start eating eggs again because I need the protein.
To celebrate my non-veganness today I snacked on my three most missed dairy foods. Those include, Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips, Wisconsin mac and cheese from Noodles & Co., and a Kit Kat. I am expecting a major stomachache tonight, in fact I'm very surprised that I don't have one yet.
Anyways that's really all I have to say on the subject. If you have any questions about veganism, vegetarianism, or my switch back to eating dairy, leave a comment!
