I would have sauntered past her door swinging my (non-existant at the time... and frankly also non-existant now) hips and said "I'm not staying long. I came to get my notes so I could go somewhere and write that paper that's due tomorrow." And then I would have gotten my notes and gone to the park or shopping or something...<br /><br />Wow, how did I not fail out of high school, haha?Classic NYerhttp://www.classicnycstory.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064585589281123688.post-2482635740537318892011-03-24T17:03:47.959-07:002011-03-24T17:03:47.959-07:00Wanda, the leprechauns are after my Lucky Charms ;...Wanda, the leprechauns are after my Lucky Charms ;). Laughingmom, you're right - I wasn't the sharpest crayon in the box back then. Bobo - duck! Also? I heart computer monkeys. Heidi - we DEFINITELY would have been little thugs together back then - laughing thugs. OT, you dono't have to say anything, just glad you stopped by. Heather - no problem - you deserve it, girl! Kana, I like the way you look at things ;). Ron, no problem! You deserve it. Eva, I deserved it, it's true, and she really was a great teacher. Dawn, Yes, I was fully "immersed." lol Meg, I often think of Mrs. Emm when I am OCD, writing this blog every week. Susan - we very well could be related. Lady E. - loved your post, left a comment. Ms. Blase, THANK YOU again for the award. As you know, it was my first. Like a Virgin, yo! Tracy, Eye am freaked out by the Crazy Eyes also. Christy, girl, you shoulda hung with me back then.

The only time I attempted it (aside from senior skip day which was allowed) was a day that I realized I hadn't been in enough trouble in high school and my time was ending soon (good aspiration). So I skipped English class. Where did I go? Why of course, the gym locker room! Nope, wouldn't get caught there! Damn we were stupid back then!

Your genius-rebel persona makes for an awesome read - probably not as rock n' roll as it sounded here when you were actually living it, I bet - and to get a C after those shenanigans must mean it was even rather good! I mean, book-throwing-guilt is *of course* commonly understood to be worth one full letter grade, while not doing the term-length aspect of the term paper is at least a half a grade or maybe even a full one if you openly admit it...So you actually got a metaphorical B+ on that bad boy!

Oh how I miss them, for the heathens of today. I remember doing term papers on an old hit the key with a hammer to get it to move typewriter. But my last term paper of high school nailed the teacher so much I never had to do a final draft. She posted the rough draft on the bulletin board as an example for all other students to follow. Good thing they didn't follow me - they would be lost right now. I love your treks down memory lane. But where are the leprechauns?Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997666282960395079noreply@blogger.com
