Friday April 28, 1989

We had a Math test. I ran errands with mom after school, including getting a haircut at Peter's and we grabbing some dinner out.

[Note: I went to a place called Peter's at Bathurst and Steeles since I was a little kid. He was my barber for over 20 years! I believe the place is still there but Peter has retired a while ago. Jordi also used to go there. It was a great place. Those Italian guys watched me grow up and I learned so much listening to Tony describing his sexual conquests!]

I went to school and ate a submarine for lunch (no matzah versions) ... oh well. Fingret, Poster, Rog and I went to see The Dream Team at Farview Mall.



[Note: either there weren't a lot of good options for kids, or I had horrible taste in movies as a kid!]

[Note: to make a long story short, I didn't love my first year at Crescent. It was a unique experience, but I didn't feel truly integrated and thought I would have more fun at York Mills. Not to mention, it was an expensive school, so my folks didn't want to spend the money if I wasn't happy.]
