5 Things You May Not Know About My Time in School
1. When I was very little (about 5) I was ALWAYS cast as the lead in the school play because I had blond ringlet hair and blue eyes
2. The RSC did a production of Romeo and Juliet at our school and there was an outcry because there was some nudity in it. I was interviewed by our local radio station about it and they didn't use the article because I said I didn't mind the nudity. LOL. What did they expect a 17 year old girl to say?
3. I was a prefect at secondry school
4. When I was in my last year of school we dressed up as St Trinians girls to raise money for charity. I was a small, black leather skirt which barely covered my ass and my teachers were horrified.
5. I didn't spend more than a year in the same school until I was 9. Army life sucks.

3. One of the supervisors decided I was management material and put me in charge of a department even though I didn't get any extra money. I had to tell off my staff and everything :-S
