Does anyone know the exact words of Mia’s speech?
I’ve been looking for it everywere but I can’t find it.
Anyone who can help??

It isn’t about her not knowing what she wants to do in life, it’s about the fact she couldn’t come up with something for the assignment PERIOD. How hard would it have been for her to just make up a career to talk about (or like xBenji said, just talk about modeling)? Just say you want to be a teacher, or a doctor and then list several reasons why.

It didn’t need to be real or reflect what she really wants to do…it just needed to be SOMETHING, considering the speech would determine whether or not she’d pass or fail English.

I don’t even remember Oscar! And at least Blue’s in the credits. Think he’s going to go more the way of Chris and Kendra. He’s there to be Holly J’s eyecandy… when she’s not mooning over Spinner.

At least Mia won’t be around for long. Although I don’t get why they didn’t just use this opportunity to write her out. :/ I was really fine with Mia until this season when she became a prostitute and they shoved her with Peter. *sigh*

Okay, clearly you never had trouble in school or with what you wanted to in life. For some people it’s not all as easy as that, and I thought that worked. I more questioned how the hell ALL the other kids had it so together.

The dumb part of the main plot was the fact that Mia couldn’t do the assignment. Choosing architect and marine biologist at the last minute?.. um Mia you’re a model, talk about being a model! duh. that should’ve been exetremely easy.

Thank you!! :-) I think with a little re-writing they could’ve made Sav’s story a more interesting A Plot. But I think I don’t think I’m more for a Sav plot than I am against Mia…she gets on my nerves these days.

What’s the point of Blue’s character again? He’s going to end up in the Degrassi abyss with Chester, Fareeza and Oscar…so sad. lol

I just wanted to say, I’ve been enjoying reading your episode reviews. I gotta agree with you about pretty much everything on this one too, except I don’t think they could’ve stretched Sav’s storyline for an A Plot. Also, I find his wanting what he wants but not willing to rebel against his parents really a bit unsettled and uninteresting.

And man, isn’t Blue just on his way to becoming the next Chante? Except what kind of name is Blue??
