Primary schoolz0rz

Because I am a sheep, Lia and Ri and I's talk of primary school combined with Lia's post about primary school made me want to blog about primary school.

...Not really. But eh.

1. Some teachers were hilarious. Which was good.

2. One particular teacher was a douchebag. I've a couple of humiliating memories thanks to that guy, one of which was also my first practical lesson on "There Are Times When Telling The Truth To Teachers Is A Terrible Idea". Though he was funny, at times, and not really mean...? And I got my first vaguely prestigious academic award from him LOL. If you can call primary school awards prestigious. It was one of the presentation day ones, okay! Prestigious enough for a kid whose age wasn't yet counted in double digits. BUT STILL. D-baggggg.

3. I was an stupidly violent/agro child... not good haha. Very not good.

4. There was a guy who I was vaaaaaguely friendly with but who then turned against me after I accidentally snapped his ruler when using it to flick an eraser through the air. If said guy somehow reads this and remembers me... HI!
 
5. I was top of the class and possibly/probably grade. Lol. Then I came to NSG.
 
6. Library had quite good books, I think. That was cool.
 
7. OMG CANTEEN CHEAP FOOD!
 
8. OMG SCHOLASTIC/APPLE BOOK CLUB THING!!!! I LOVED THAT! OMFGGGGG. Going through all the catalogues was so fun. And casting my memory back, those books were SO FRIGGING CHEAP. Aaaaaiiiieee///flail. Too bad I didn't get to buy many books haha. Parents were kind of strict as to what I could get, so all I really bought were cheap Scholastic classics which I never read and random cheap stationery sets which were cool but which I also never used hahahhaa. Kind of annoying because in hindsight those books were frigging CHEAP but it's all good because now my parents randomly buy me RRP books if I really want them. YEYYY. ...And of course sometimes I just buy them myself. Because I am such a self-sufficient teen. (Not.)

9. Book Club stuff was so good! Yes, this deserves another point. Because it was just SO AWESOME. The colourful catalogues! The... anticipation/etc. when your stuff finally arrived! Even if it was a random classic you'd never read... Eeeee. I think this is one of the things I miss most about primary. Frigging hell why can't we have Book Club? Though actually I don't really mind because NSG library has a lot of awesome books too, and you can email the librarian and request books to be ordered/bought. Mmmmmm //drool

10. We had a creative writing assignment in Year...5? 6? And it was meant to be one A4 page or something, and I went overboard and wrote seven pages. Hahahhaha.

11. Ms R, my teacher for Year 5/6, had a bookshelf in the room full of novels and stuff we could borrow. Among them were a large number of ANIMORPHS BOOKS. HOLY EFF I FUCKING LOVED THOSE BOOKS.

12. Mrss G (Year 4? Can't remember properly aaagh) would read Goosebumps books to our class. It was awesome. R. L. Stine's cliffhanger chapter endings... and it'd be humourously anticlimactic or something. "Her fingers were dripping with blood, etc. etc." and the next chapter would continue and be like "Ahh damn I was chopping vegetables and the knife slipped."

13. I have a sneaking suspicion that my primary school was larger in area than NSG... or the same size? Which actually isn't saying much hahha.

I think I forgot how fun primary school sometimes was hahaha. I still prefer high school [hands down] but there were still good times... //corny
