Middle School Memories

As I am spending this day at home sick with a virus, I was surfing on Twitter. One of the topics I found was "#middleschoolmemories" It gave me an idea, so, without further ado, my memories of my 4 years at Storm Lake Middle School

*We called it studyBACK instead of studyHALL
*Guidance class with Mr. Larson and Mrs. Mangold
*Taking Home Ec, and always getting mad when you had to do sewing, finance, or laundry units, because you didn't get to eat anything
*In 6th grade, anytime Mrs. Miller accidentally called you by your sibling's name, you got a Jolly Rancher
*The fifth grade AR party at Mrs. Steenblock's house
*8th grade Science with Mr. Petersen; he almost lit his hand on fire with a bunson burner, and Laurena Wells screamed SO loud
*7th grade lunch was the best, because we got seconds (the only downside was that we didn't get to eat until quarter til one)
*Mr. McCabe's homeroom in 7th grade; Laurena and I would steal his keys, rate his outfits, and hook all his paperclips together into one big long chain
*8th grade Jazz Band "What happens on the jazz band bus STAYS on the jazz band bus"
*SLMS High School Musical 2007
*Fun bucks in fifth grade
*Fun Fridays in fifth grade
*The awesome green bowties and cumberbunds for 7th/8th band and choir
*Always knowing when Mrs. Jones was walking down the hall because all you could hear was "clack, clack, clack, clack"
*Learning how to juggle in PE on early dismissal days
*Getting excited about picking locker partners for the next year
*Mrs. Patten ranting about Nazis during 7th grade art
*Making oobleck in 7th grade science with Mrs. Hixon
*5th grade Wax Museum
*Getting out of school early because the squirrel fried himself in the transformer box
*Hearing Mr. Ryherd say "Crispy. Toes" Every time we were having CRISPITOS for lunch
*Finally having a salad bar
*Watching West Side Story in 7th grade music
*Going to the elementary school to play our band instruments for the fourth graders
*Middle school dances, they were actually FUN
*The DJ's hot son that was at the 8th grade Valentine's day dance
*Taking compatibility tests before the Valentine's day dance, and  then getting SO upset because your crushes' name was not on there
*Smacking your shins almost everyday on the tables in the commons

So there you have it. Some of my middle school memories. Stay tuned for "Elementary School Memories", "High School Memories", and "Girl Scout Memories"
