Grade 7

Hey, I've been thinking about the past a bunch lately, so I'm gonna write down most of my thoughts from each year that I remember starting with Grade 7.

<Warning: These posts will be the definition of rambling>

So, my middle school was across the street. This meant I could sleep in until 5 minutes before class started. At the time I did not shower everyday. Lol... I really liked my teacher. She was young, smart, pretty, and he honestly cared about each of us.

We had to set goals for the semester. I only made ones I knew I could do or had already done. Kinda lame. Haha.

Through the year I think I had crushes on four girls, primarily. K, N, P, and B. At one point, I think it was Christmas, I asked my best friend PM to ask all the girls in our class whether they liked bracelets or necklaces more. That week I braided each of them the one they said they liked more and each had three coloured beads. The colours represented how much I liked them, but I never told them that. Lol.........

This was the first year we got to play real instruments for music class (not just recorders) and I chose the trombone because the guy at the info night said I was really good at it. I joined all the bands and that became my identity for a long time. "number1trombone" was also my email address. I don't remember when I actually got email though. >.> Could have been later. Grade 9 or something?

Our class was actually really close. I don't think I ever had a real conflict with anyone. RL and GN were my newer best friends along with PM who I had already known. We went to Wendy's once. Lol. I don't think I went home for lunch that often, but I may have.

AW is one girl I kinda liked. She was really kind, but also really funny in a weird kinda way. Like, she was extremely athletic, but didn't really know how to harness the potential. She high jumped and landed on the other side of the crash mat once. O.o And she always drew these squirel-like creatures. One time on the side board she drew one with the words "if you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie." Those words have stuck with me. Lol.

Art class with our French teacher. Gym class with our Canadian History teacher. Video games with PM (and my brother sometimes). Trying to get the Integrated Arts teacher to start a choir again with KA.

Things were changing though.

School dances existed. >.> I usually went to the games room and played Magic cards with AM. Lol.

I liked our library. XP. I never really took out books. We still had book reports and presentations and stuff like that.

I don't really remember recesses.

Ha! MC was in my class. She was hilarious! Almost taught me Chinese. But I annoyed her too much so she stopped after a couple days...

Hmmm... Oh. This guy. He showed up one day and was added to our class and claimed he was a millionaire. He tried buying friendship. Like, he didn't actually give us anything though, so we were very skeptical. No one liked him. In gym class we had to.do a choreographed dance. I think the other guys paid him a dollar to just be quiet. ...

Grade 7. Probably a lot more. Lol.

Ttyl.
