My School Experience

2nd Grade

Uggggghhhhh!!! For me, this was my worst year of elementary schools. Here's what I remember.

One of the girls in my class had just moved here. She was from Florida. Sorry to to Floridians, but she doesn't make you guys look too good. Not even today. I was talking about my cousin's CD player that she let me listen to. This girl, Andrea, started saying stuff like, "Well I have 10 CD players and they all belong to me." And when we were all talking about how cool it would be to go to Disney World, I said "My dad wants to take me there, but we don't have the money." She said, "Well we've been there 10 times." 

I remember a girl that was actually my friend; she had the biggest crush on this one boy in class. She told him she was his girlfriend. Their "relationship" was sort of like the girl told the boy what was what. He couldn't stand her, but he never said anything to her to upset her or anything. 

We had to read books with a partner. Mine was a boy. Eww xD. We decided to be friends. He was able to blow bubbles in bubble gum and he told me how he done it. I still use that method. xD But we would pretend that we were psychics and tell each other what was going to happen to us. And we would talk about what we "knew" about werewolves. We both had gameboys and we would borrow each other's games. I borrowed his Mario game and he borrowed my Over the Hedge game. I accidentally deleted his most progress, so I let him delete my biggest progress. One day, we were playing cards and he was talking about how many brothers and sisters he had. I didn't have any, so I started making up some and telling him I had more brothers and sisters than him. He knew I was lying and he said if I keep lying, he won't be my friend anymore. I still swore up and down I had siblings, so we were no longer friends. We haven't been ever since then, actually.

My teacher always had us write poetry when it was time to write. I wrote a poem about a pencil. He absolutely loved it. He made me read it in front of the class, showed the other second grade teachers, and posted it on the door. That clued me in that I was good at writing. I was the only student that read their poetry to the class. 

One time, he made us write short stories. We all had to read those out loud. The night before that, I watched an Alvin and the Chipmunks cartoon where one of them became a werewolf? I can't remember exactly. It was near Halloween. I wrote mine on me and one of my friends, I don't remember which one, being chased down by a werewolf. As you can tell, I was into werewolves. Back then, Boy Meets World was still on Disney Channel and my absolute favorite episode was when he thought he got bit by a werewolf. I drew a pawprint on the palm of my hand one night and was going to show my "psychic" friend to see if I could fool him, but it was Friday night when I drew it, and I didn't realize until later on that night, that I'd have to wait until Sunday night, but I never did it. 

We were supposed to write a poem one time, and I couldn't think of anything to write, so I wrote the lyrics to Hit Me Baby One More Time by Britney Spears. My cousin was into Pop, R&B, and Rap, so I knew quite a bit of Britney Spears. He made me write again because, "I listened to that on the way to school this morning. That's not your work." My second grade teacher was a guy. 

One time, I had a breakdown in the middle of class. I don't remember what brought it up, but I was crying. The assistant teacher had to take me to the hallway and hug me to calm me down. Everyone else was at recess. I think it was about my dad. I didn't like it at home. That's when he started getting food only he liked and only cooking enough for hisself and going to bed. 

There was a boy in my class that went to preschool with me. He swore up and down that he liked me. I was flattered until I had a nightmare. In it, he kept trying to kiss me and I didn't want him to. So the next day when I went back to school, I told him I just wanted to be friends. We still go to school together. I don't think you could consider us friends. I was in a relationship with one of his friends and when him and I broke up, he along with everyone else that was supposed to be my friends shunned me from the group until the ex and I were back on speaking terms. Then they were my "best friends" again.

There was one kid in my class that decided one day he liked me. He kept reading the same book I was reading, tried to tickle my feet, and always wanted to sit with me. The next day, he didn't want to be anywhere near me. I have no clue what that was about.

There was a kid named Cody in class. He was the coolest kid in class. Everyone wanted to be his friend. I snuck my cousin's CD player to school and told him it was mine. He thought I was so cool. Then my dad had to come to school to get it back from me because my cousin had to go home. And Cody kept asking me "Why did you lie to me? It's just a CD player." 

I was a fibber in second grade.
