I was.
Unless that is you're from a Yorkshire town, where the Viking invasions left a dialect, then it is a case of - "I wer born in tarn mi sen lyk but if tha thinks bart it compared to standard english it dunt mek sence. Shut yer trap you southerners us yorkshire folk are ok yer Know. Im putting me big light on as its getting dark. See ya"

I was told by an English Professor that "I were" was used many times in far-fetched ideas, such as if "If I were a rich man," "If I were President." Now if any of the presidential candidates said it, he (or she) would say "If I was President."

Subjunctive?

I was, unless the sentence starts with the word "if", as in "If I were older, I would have to spend my summers working."

Depends on how you're using it, e.g., "I was going to the store" is correct. "If I were you, I wouldn't do that." is also correct.
