Study Hall

What was your favorite subject in school?

It was closely followed by lunchtime detention, which came along as an option in high school. One small transgression, and one could end up in a quiet room with lunch served in a brown bag. No one was allowed to talk. Everyone had to read quietly. Study hall and lunchtime detention were quite similar, with the main difference being there was food at lunch. There was no sense of punishment; rather, it was quite rewarding.

It wasn’t until University that I gained interest in the subjects I was studying, and even then it took a couple of years to delve into more than generic topics. Art History, Costume History, Literature, Theatre (including Costuming) – these are a few of my favorite things.
