A Short Break

I’m gonna have to take a couple days off from blogging about school. I’m on my fourth draft of my rewrite and I’ve decided that the story would be better told in present tense. So that’s a lot of fucking around and I need a bit of confidence to get through it. [...]

Theme: Grade 4

As you can see, my impeccable fashion sense is developing. Funny enough, so is my disdain for school.
I hated grade four. Just fucking hated it. I was getting dragged out of classes for speech therapy, which was going nowhere, getting the shit kicked out of me at recess while teachers watched and [...]

Theme: Grade 3

Looking at my report cards from grade three, I realize that I’ve always had it and grade four confused. This was my first year in another new school. (Grade one was Orono Public, grade two was Lochart and grade 3 was Newcastle Public.)
I can hardly remember Mrs. Tuttle. I do [...]

Theme: Grade Two

I think it was in grade two that I decided that I wanted to be a writer. And what do you think I wrote about? Well, I’ll let Mrs. Ralfe, one [...]

Theme: Grade 1

Problems start to emerge in grade one. My teacher says: “You are [...]

Theme 1: Nursery School

That picture is actually me in Kindergarten. But, since we’re going to run out of the cute pics pretty damn fast, I’m just going to hit you with my best shot. And that’s it.
I don’t remember very much from Nursery School but I do remember a few things. I can recall [...]

New Theme Week: School Days

I’ve been slacking off here but I’ve been busy elsewhere. To get back into the swing of blogging I’m going to do another theme week. This one will be about my time in that most hideous of public institutions — the diabolical combination of madhouse, prison and factory — the school.
I’ve recently come [...]
