Grade 8

So it continues. I had a thought, maybe these will get awkward when they are more recent? Whatever. I'll leave out more names. lol.

[ Warning! This post may again be a rambler!! ]

So, what do I remember from 8 years ago?

I know my homeroom teacher was very nice and in charge of the student council, but this whole year I wished I was back in my grade 7 classroom. Both the room and the classmates had a different feel, a more home-like feel. This year my class felt like it had just been thrown together and all I could do was miss my friends from last year. I often spent time with them anyways.

I think at one point I had access to a girl's locker in addition to mine, and I got caught once by my teacher from grade 7. >.> But she didn't realize anything.

I think I ended up being friends with AM and JW most. We worked on a debate or something about Newfoundland? I'm pretty sure I cheated (like one or two points) on a History test and slept through multiple historical movies.

The choir was reinstated and I joined and also joined the soloist group. We sang a lot of random stuff. The soloists were also given extra stuff to sing. We each chose a song and practiced it and recorded  it I think? We were apparently supposed to audition for the talent show. I didn't realize / I didn't want to. >.< Sing in front of the whole school? no. lol. We sang karaoke quite a bit. CN was now one of my best friends. He was a little off. He played trumpet and Maplestory. This is how I got into Maplestory. My first three characters all sucked because I thought I should have even distribution of ability points. >.> He became a high-level dragon knight quite quickly.

There was this weird percussion ensemble that was formed. It was interesting, but not that interesting. lol. I'd rather play real instruments.

Music class was good. It was split with this class that only had like 4 guys in it (It was a french immersion class!).

So, jazz band. Pretty sure we went to nationals for Music Fest and I had to play 'Cathy's Army' which went up to an F I think? Adjudicator told me I was doing the vibrato all wrong. >.>

Oh! Math was a lot of fun! We had this older woman teaching us. She was a pretty stern teacher, but that makes it all the more fun. lol.

I did not make a table in Design and Technology class, I took one home. I was a keener in the class and so I was able to make whatever I wanted. I looked in my room and realized I was missing a table. So that's what I'd make. The teacher sold me one that had been half made. lol.

Oh. A girl in my class got contacts. I bugged her for a week or two. I thought she looked better with the glasses. She looked cuter without the glasses actually, I later realized.

Oh! This was when I got to be friends with OD, AS, and BP! I was wondering when that was. Oh. and I actually was student council representative. I made a speech and everything.

I was a little jealous of D(?) because she got to play the bass clarinet. >.< Coolest instrument.

Our grad dance was in a different building. I really liked this one girl and was almost being a complete idiot because of it. I went to get her cake, but didn't know what flavour she wanted so I got both. She already had cake. >.> Rascal Flatts and Gasolina.

Pretty sure I still didn't like dancing. I think it was this year that a rumour that I liked a girl ended up making me like her a bit. I had danced with her, a slow dance, at one of the dances. Most guys made fun of her. She was nice. Hmmmm.... Maybe this part was grade 7?

I don't remember much about this year. We played with lasers in Science I think?

OH! The Hodge Podge! >.< Why I stopped taking art class.

My earliest memory of AT? Donating hair for cancer?

Pretty awkward year.

Ttyl.

    1. Oh. I know. lol......... After my three useless lvl 30 characters I figured out how to do it properly and spent so much time on it. I ended up starting a guild and making guild events where I had to be online to do things with them. I had a million coins stolen once by a guildmate who then sold their character. I cared more for the quests then I did for grinding, so I never ended up getting to lvl 70 with any of my 9 or 10 characters. lol. My brother lvl'd higher than me. I realized the waste of time and got off of it. Now it's a completely different world.

    1. You misunderstand. I do not mean to refer to percussion as fake instruments, I mean to refer to things we were hitting. Does a metal ventilation duct count as an instrument? I think not.
