Likes:
growing rare orchids in her greenhouse · collecting and classifying lichen and fungus · secretly watching her neighbours while having a cup of green tea · gossip · dead silence · fall

Hates:
cheeky, cheerful and noisy people · children between the age of 3 and 14, at the age of 16 and older than 18 · direct sunlight shining in her face · not greeting her outside school · mini-skirts · not complying with rest periods

About her:
She's extremely good at analyzing and categorizing animals and plants, but remarkably bad at dealing with children. That's tragic, because she's an intelligent and diligent person, but cannot arouse enthusiasm in her students. Her dry, fact based teaching style bores them and leads to ramblings behind her back what she absolutely hates. That forces her to insist on silence even more and on additional – again very boring – homework. She seems to never smile, to never be pleased with anything and to be upset about everything. Because she's allergic against bright sunlight she usually stays in school until late afternoon. This led to the rumor that she secretly lives in the basement of the school, lurking for students who dare to stay late and only coming out of her cocoon the next morning.

Life:
She was born in a small rural village and adopted the passion for plants and other organisms from her grandfather who often took her out to discover the woods. She developed a special interest in rare plants like domestic orchids which became a lifelong passion. She studied evolutionary biology and examined the ancestry of plants and insects. Later she started a collection of lichen and fungus to investigate their adaptive abilities. Today she works as a biology teacher at a German high school and sometimes participates in orchid shows. She gained the title "German Asparagus Queen" seven times in a row.

RANDOM MUSICAL PICK OF THE WEEK

Gary Numan — Down In the Park (20th Anniversary Version)

I think I don't need to describe who Gary Numan is. "Down In The Park" is one of my favorite songs from him and I especially like this version. The quality of the upload is very bad though.
