memories

I miss elementary school, and middle school even (though there are some things about middle school I'd like to forget).

I miss making up random games in Kindergarten. I miss playing at recess and lunch and creating this amazing town in the back of my school that actually lasted for a while. I miss drinking hot chocolate and book clubs with Mrs. Votruba. I miss the Gold Rush performance we did, and that one random garden performance that didn't seem to serve much of a purpose...I miss the talent show. I miss colonial day and reading Island of the Blue Dolphins, and being excited with all the other girls in my 5th grade class when we found out Mrs. Ciriza was pregnant. I miss having to speak in spanish to ask to use the restroom and stuff like that lol. I miss safety patrol camp with my best friend Ashley, and soo many other fun times I had with her and her sister.

I miss that insanely cheesy/weird play I wrote in 6th grade and performing it with a British accent, haha. I miss things like zapping and MASH that are really pointless and maybe stupid, but still fun. As much as I hated her, I missing having to put up with Mrs. Bailey sometimes and hearing her go on about how "appalled" she was at everything...it seems really amusing now, even though she's probably still scary. I miss so many awesome things in Mr. Dyer's class in 7th grade, like that Risk game we played...Josh ran out of the class shouting "A prisoner escapes!" That was such a fun class... :) I miss show choir sometimes too--especially the people I met there and hung out with that year. 8th grade show choir was also fun, but not nearly as much...oh Mrs. Woods. Anyways. I definitely don't miss PE and Mr. Sciotto's class. But I miss the way some things were back then, and even moreso elementary school...I was young and innocent. I still had my best friends living next door. Reminiscing is always nice, but it does make me a little sad...at least I'll be able to always keep these memories with me. That's far better than forgetting everything that's ever happened.
