Report card. :O

As I was digging through my closet, collecting and un-wrinkling all the loose leaf pages of my old various Monstrous Manuals for D&D, I came across my 9th grade report card for my first semester. (I also found it amusing that my student ID number was nearly exactly as my last work ID number, which also happens to be close, if not the same, number as the one from a popular anime. :P
Apparently my grades were fairly well balanced with the same number of A's, C's, and D's across the board, with only one B. Lol.
Art: C-
Business: D
English: C
History: D
Math: B
# A-
Science: A-
I was a bit of a mild science nerd as a kid. I'm still surprised I ever got any decent grade in maths. I'm a little surprised by the average art grade, but then again, our teacher was the same one who would say "there's no wrong way to do art, but you aren't doing it right," and then not elaborate on what we supposedly did wrong. But still, in the end I was one of the only serious art students he had, and I did score the art scholarship by the time I graduated.
I also found a photograph of our old lunch area, above the art room, next to the bathrooms. We called it "Freak Grove". I still remember the slice of cheese with a melted spork (or a regular plastic fork) melted to it., stuck on the concrete pillar by the bathroom.
Ah, good times. They sucked. But still nostalgic.

Freshman year, back when we were in Freak Alley (basically just the pathway behind the computer lab, surrounded by a big hill for privacy), we even had a chocolate pudding cup war with the "hicks" faction that had lunch by the bathrooms on the other side of the hill. It was total chocolate carnage. Not sure what sparked it. I think the cowboys started chucking things at us over the hill, so we retaliated. We got kicked out of the alley after that, and moved to Freak Grove instead.
I think they tried to kick us out of there again at some point, and we moved to a new spot, but they kicked us out of there too, claiming it was "off-campus", despite being directly next to the student park and in between the P.E. fields, the gym, and history/health classrooms. We were in the middle of the dang campus, but they deemed it "off-campus" (until the newer class came in behind us and took the spot, and nobody cared, and we moved back to the old Freak Grove.) They even had the nerve to tie a string from a tree branch to a tiny twig to try and keep us out of there. *Rolls eyes*.
For a while I spent my lunch periods in my favorite English teacher's class, because she had a couch, and we got to watch skate videos.
