Bittersweet Candy Bowl

19. Enter High School, chapter posted 9/10/06

Page 5 of 6

Author Commentary

The Honors English teacher is actually meant to be a parody of the Honors English teacher I had for Senior year. She was an absolute angel and just a really amusing person, but I always freaked out at her surprise essays.. and she used to take the scared reactions of the students in such an amusing way.. like all “Ohh, be prepared! Use your brains!” etc etc.. she spoke like that except with a better vocabulary. The CP English teacher is also a parody of the teacher I had in junior year. She was just really young, really bouncy, really pretty. I adored her.. she actually got married in my senior year and people say she became a bit of a meanie now.. which is unfortunate, but I’ll always love her. She actually suggested me for Student of the Month in October and they ACCEPTED IT. I was shocked.

Daisy in this page will always remind me of this sophomore that was in pre-calculus in my senior year. I felt like such an idiot around her since she was the best at it and SO SO YOUNG. Goodness.

Bittersweet Candy Bowl is so fun to reread!
The CP teacher spells lenient lineant. xD
Anyway, shame on you for your series being addicting. I would be doing my homework if not for you

Bahaha, I need to go back through chapters and correct spelling mistakes. Good catch!

Also haha, I apologise for that! Hope it’s still a rewarding experience even if it involves cats crying all over the place! I appreciate your interest!

Well, it’s really quite good! Alot of the situations, like mike and Sandy’s remind me of things that have happened to me in the real world, and besides a great deal of it is more funny than dramatic and such ^^ It’s great

can’t agree more with Ish Person. This has got to be my fourth, maybe fifth time? Is that a sign of a lack of anything else to do on my part, or a sign of Taeshi’s awesome comic skills?

I thought Mike was good at math… or at least decent, not CP?
I might be confused I started reading this 4 days ago and I’m this far so I might have confused a few things.

David’s mind. Don’t question it. Katie is such a dumb blonde. Even has the same color fur.

Basically my freshmen English I Honors teacher. She was young, seemingly happy, and always sounded nice. But she was half the time sarcastic and was a bitch when it came to giving work.
*revelation*
I have her next year for English again. *runs*

I always get praised for my english, and whenever i play Videogames online people think im british. When they read my profile or something they get all surprised that im a Norwegian. The bad thing is the expectations, and im not really much of a working person. Here, english is much more than just plain ol’ language. Even the teachers say it’s like a mix of english and society class.

That’s why i “only” get 5/6 in grade, as my teacher wrote. “Your english is perfect but your content is lacking.”. Then i figured i accidentially had skipped a task.

The funny thing is I’ve always been a year ahead in my math courses, but so has half of the rest of my class. My Calculus period had the most juniors in it than she had ever had.
