5 Things About Me by Sophia Humber https://padlet.com/sophiahumber/6xffrcx83yalkptd en-us 2023-10-29 16:17:02 UTC 2025-11-16 19:39:58 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f996.png I love reading! sophiahumber https://padlet.com/sophiahumber/6xffrcx83yalkptd/wish/2767700812 An English teacher who loves reading? Groundbreaking.


I have always been a bookworm. I loved going to the library as a kid. I stopped reading as much for fun in high school and university. Last year, I moved closer to a library and it helped my reading so much! So far, this year, I've read 190 books - which is bonkers - I have abandoned many other hobbies for this reading obsession.


I love reading a lot of different genres. One of my favourite things to read are twisted fairy tales or mythology retellings. I have a big collection of creepy folktales. Here are some of my favourites in different genres!

Any savoury dough is amazing, to be honest. I love a bao bun. I love a focaccia. Carbs are amazing.

I listen to a bunch of different genres. My favourites are power metal, folk, 70s rock, disco, and musicals.

I used to draw a lot but I often got frustrated that the art didn't turn out like I had pictured in my head. Crafting, embroidery especially, has been so fun because it's a style of art that I absolutely love AND I find it completely relaxing.

We started building some pretty epic lego sets together. We build a huge lego lighthouse that is motorized AND lights up.

They were my spouse's childhood dogs. Their names were Snowball (the white one) and Stoker (the black one). Snowball was the smartest dog ever. I swear she was a human in a past life. She was also the cuddliest puppy and loved to be held like a baby. Stoker was as dumb as a brick, very sweet and very stupid. She lived until she was 18! I got tattoos of them when they died.

He was the cutest cat - although highly erratic - he definitely lived up to the orange cat stereotype! He was allergic to the outside but loved to hang out in the grass and flowers when he snuck into the yard.

So good. If you love Greek Mythology you need to listen to this musical. I have watched the crappiest bootlegs of this because there isn't a good recording. Also listen to the musical Epic by Jorge Rivera-Herrans.

I've mostly worked at the Bedford campus but was at the Dartmouth campus for one year too!
