Outside the dawn is breaking

The first English teacher I had in high school was probably one of the best English teachers I have ever had. I didn't learn all that much in that first year except the difference of "was" and "were", but his way of teaching was very fun. We all got a paper with stuff we had to do to get a certain grade - like "read a book and write a review", "lead a discussion" and stuff like that. I really enjoyed it. Of course, I was the only one who got the highest grade so... (Yes, I am really proud about that - to be honest, this is the first time I'm thinking about it in probably five years.)
There was one discussion I was very proud of and that was being pro-abortion. I was supposed to be against it, but my friend who was in the "pro"-group couldn't handle the arguments the audience threw at her so we switched. Between you and me, sitting in front of the rest of the class and answering the question "so what about if a child gets raped" with "well, I know every little girl wants a baby - I know I did when I was a child" is probably one of the sickest things I have ever done in my life. I didn't mean a word of it, (something I proved three years later with our last project) but it was fun to discuss it. It was fun to get impossible arguments thrown at you and try to turn them. I remember that "my team" won the discussion in the end, but I honestly have no idea how, haha.

Another thing we did was telling people about the ten commandments. I went to a school with a lot of people from other cultures and in that class I think we were four or five people with a Swedish background, so not a whole lot of them actually knew them. Of course... our ten commandments didn't really work as the ones in the Bible do... Some of them I can't remember, but I'll give you a similar idea of what they were.

1. I am the Lord your God and you shall have no other gods before me = worship whatever you want whenever you want
2. You shalt not make for yourself an idol = signed picture anyone?
3. Thou shalt not make wrongful use of the name of your God = You're allowed to curse as much as you want
4. Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy = Use the Sunday as your hang-over day
5. Honor your father and mother [in Swedish this goes "honor your father and your mother and it may do you well and you may long live in the same country] = Ignore your parents and you'll live long and prosper in any country you want
6. You shall not murder = You shall only murder if you can get away with it
7. You shall not steal = You shall not steal more than you can carry with you
8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour [in Swedish "witness" is "vittnesbörd" and very close to "wheat-bread", "vetebröd"] = You shall not put false wheat bread in your neighbour's purse
9. You shall not covet your neighbour's wife = You shall not have sexual intercourse with anyone you've known less than two hours
10. You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbour = You're not supposed to screw your neighbour, his wife or anything else, but if you have to - make sure you've known the person longer than two hours.

It really was a lot of fun and some times I find myself missing it. Then I realise that I was 16 and went to school and then all of a sudden I don't miss it that much anymore.

My apartment looks like shit. And it smells like vomit. Why does this always happen to me? I haven't even thrown up since last year! And I most certainly didn't throw up outside my loo!
