Profile for SoupMina:
Simply put, I'm a Mina-bird who likes soup. And sings about it rather a lot.
I'm studying English at Edinburgh Uni and love nonsense. I get bored very easily, which leads to silly things. Like the impromptu 6am making of a jelly-fish costume. (It was awesome and I put LED battery-powered fairy-lights in it)
So yeah.. I'm a bit odd. And awful at writing things like these.
..crapbags!

My maths teacher
was awesome, I had him for about two years, and during that time I only ever looked forwards to maths. He'd tell us interesting stories about maths in ancient Greece, or even random things just about ancient Greece. He'd also usually give us sweets, especially liquorice, and he tried to have a different kind each time. He sometimes brought in some liquorice sticks covered in chalky white sugar, and his party trick was to place one on the chalk holder on the blackboard, and casually eat what looked like a chalk halfway through the class.
He was no longer a young man by the time he taught my class, but the amount of energy he still had was amazing. He was Scottish, and called all the boys 'Jimmy' and all the girls 'Lassie', and threw chalks at us if he thought we weren't paying enough attention.
My sister always tells the story of the time when a boy in her class brought a skateboard to school - he put it at the back of the classroom, and they were all quietly getting on with their maths excercises when suddenly they heard a rolling noise followed by an almighty THUMP, and turned round to see him on the floor looking sheepish with said skateboard rolling rapidly away from him.
He also had to use a wheelchair for about a month once because he hurt his achilles tendon doing circus tricks, and once took our whole class kayaking down a river in Belgium.
I doubt he reads B3ta, but just in case, Mr Kelly, you are simply awesome.

Not quite a teacher..
But one of our school supervisors was called Pooh Schmuck, an unfortunate name if ever there was one. This was made even more hilarious by the fact that, being Dutch, she didn't quite know how funny we'd find it (it was an international school, so we had students and teachers from all over the place). She spent her whole first day at the school popping her head round the classroom doors and saying
'Hello! My name is Pooh, like the bear..'
She was also rather round, short, and had a bit of a temper, and whenever we got caught doing anything we shouldn't, she'd look up at us from over the top of her glasses, trembling with indignant rage, and shout 'Hyou again!'
We found her rather funny.
She eventually decided she preferred to be called Winnie.
