A complete timeline of my middle/high school experience, as I was bored and wanted to write... But, didn't want to put too much thought into it. Hahaha. BEHOLD.

BzoinkBasicDid you like school?: No. Granted it had it's perks (ie; making friends, learning fragments of relevant things), I really could not stand school. I’ve always had issues with being told what to do. I couldn’t learn that way. How often did you skip school?: Quite often. This habit got progressively worse throughout my schooling career. I tried to drop out when I was 16, but my mom/my family intervened. Thank God. Hahahaha. We're you ever popular in school?: Not really. I started out as a wall flower, gained friends, drama of some sort or another ensued with said friends, gained new people who called themselves friends, the "near-drop-out-experience" happened, all of the friends stopped talking to me, I met my fiancé, and then converted back to wallflowerism. Favorite teacher overall?: Mrs. Julie, my teacher from 6th to 8th grade. She was more like an older sister than a teacher. Favorite subject?: Always art and writing. 6th gradeWhat school did you go to?: This was my first year at "The New School" Montessori. Go ahead, make your jokes about the name... I've heard them all. Who were your friends?: I was really ridiculously shy in the 6th grade, so I didn't really have any friends. They were all nice enough (I guess), but I really could not get close enough to any of them. I'd talk to this 8th grade girl named Eva who was very nice, and we'd e-mail back and forth. But we were more of acquaintances than friends. What was your favorite class?: Um, I should probably mention that at Montessori, we didn’t actually have “classes.” We were given a syllabus with a list of studies and projects to complete every three weeks. Every so often we'd have a group study kind of thing, which was typically math related. My class was a group of 20-something 6th through 9th graders. Knowing that will save on confusion later. Did you have a gf/bf?: Nope. But, I had a horrible crush on Legolas from Lord of the Rings and a handful of anime dudes. Were you cool or did you get picked on?: Coolness wasn't much of a factor at Montessori, everyone was, um, "unique" (I guess would be the word) in their own, twisted little way. Any teasing that went on was more like that of quarreling siblings. No one seemed to hold grudges. Those who did, left the school. It was kind of like being educated on a hippie commune. What sticks out in your mind most about 6th grade?: A few highlights; 9/11 happened, the school went into lockdown, and everyone cried around the front table. I didn't believe in wearing bras back then, so my nips raped everyone's vision. I played a lot of Capture The Flag and football. At the very end of the year, I met Rochelle (who everyone called Rini) at an after school drawing club. She was one of my best friends. Did you like this year?: Not especially. Outside of school, what do you remember most about 6th grade?: My mom was very angry over my dad's death (understandable, he had died the previous year). My grandpa (her dad) came to live with us. They fought a lot. Grandpa would wake me up early and take me to Catholic church every Sunday. Then, he started teaching me how to play the piano. My family took a trip to New Mexico to look for aliens... That's about all I care to list, at the moment. 7th gradeWhat school did you go to?: Still Montessori. Did you like this year?: Oh, yes. I loved this year. What was your favorite class?: I enjoyed drawing and writing out of all of my studies. This was the year I became avid about writing a novel. It was an obsession, if you will. Who were your friends?: Rochelle (as I mentioned before), a really preppy girl named Brittney (who was my mom's friend's daughter, and I happened to go to school with her, so we were more or less "friends by default"), who was always trying to change my dorky, tomboyish look, and this kid named Max who was my kind of "boyfriend." Did you have a gf/bf?: See the above response. Our dates consisted of going to Borders on Saturdays with Rochelle and playing Pokemon Cards/Magic the Gathering.. What made you like or hate this year?: I was very involved in my own little fantasy world. Everything I did always came back to my novel. And, for that reason, I was randomly confident and somewhat outgoing (for the first time in my life). Meet anyone new this year, of importance?: Not really. Outside of school, what do you remember most about 7th grade?: Some highlights; I would literally sit on the floor of my bedroom for hours listening to the radio and drawing. I became really passionate about various aspects of my life, mainly drawing, writing my novel, and music. By this time, I was taking piano and voice lessons. I had short brown hair with long blonde bangs of which I blew dry by sticking my head out the window of my mom's van on the way to school in the morning. You couldn’t find my dead in make-up or tight girly clothes. Who was your favorite teacher?: Mrs. Julie. 8th gradeWhat school did you go to?: Montessori, this was my last year. Did you like this year?: Yeah, it was a pretty good year. If you asked the 8th grade Michelle this question, she'd probably hiss at you, and then run off crying. Who were your friends?: In school, there was Rochelle, Celeste, who transferred to Montessori for her last year of middle school, and another new kid named Kyle. Outside of school, I started hanging out with one of my childhood friends, named Amanda. Then, through Rochelle, I met a girl named Chrisleigh, who I mostly talked to on AIM. We’d hang out whenever I went to Rochelle’s house. Have a crush?: No one, really. I was stuck around all of the guys at Montessori, who I had known since sixth grade, and none of them were attractive to me. There were always the guys at Jelly Beans, the skating rink I frequented, but most of them were really conceited and had little interest in awkward, little Michelle. Amanda tried to hook me up with her guy friend, Dariaus that year, but I was just too shy, and I don’t think he was feeling me. Long story short, I was disturbed by what little interest I had in the opposite sex and longed for a boyfriend. What was your favorite class?: Drawing and writing. Still. Most memorable day of the year?: Most memorable week, my class took a trip to Disney World. How awesome is that? Granted it was pretty drama-filled, due to my overly emotional state at the time and another random incident that happened. I still regard it as the best field trip ever. Another memorable day?: Um, kind of an awkward memory. Hahaha. But, towards the end of the school year, someone found out that I was suicidal and cutting myself, and told the whole school about it. I found out when my one teacher, Mr. Jared, pulled me aside and asked if I was okay, and then proceeded to talk my ear off for an hour about how I shouldn’t kill myself. I was pretty embarrassed. It’s actually pretty funny looking back on it. Outside of school, what do you remember most about 8th grade?: This was my year of “teenage rebellion.” I was one of those “mall goths” you’d see lurking in the shadows, acting as dark and angsty as possible. I’d cake on my make up. I’d wear black lace and chains. I randomly started hating my life and pushing all of my friends away because they were too “mainstream” for me. I thought I was the most individualistic mother fucker on the planet. But, unfortunately, I was only an immature 13-year old who had too much to complain about. This was the year my family adopted two kittens, Thanatos and Oktober. They became my saving grace. 9th gradeWhat school did you go to?: Green Hope High School. Big step down. Did you like this year?: Not at all. I became even more angsty, due to the fact that I felt out of place in the massive public school. Who were your friends?: Despite my atrocious personality, I made a lot of friends (somehow). Through Amanda, I met Marissa, Sara Logan, and Katie. Through chorus, I met Molly and Allie, and through Molly I met Nicole and Rachael Howard. Then, there was Jordan Blais, who sat beside me in algebra first semester... And Josh Lucas, who I met second semester. I was still friends with all of my Montessori people, but I didn’t see them nearly as often as I would have liked. Like or date anyone?: Yes, freshmen year I experienced awkward girl crushes for the first time on various friends I made at Green Hope. I also had a horrible crush on Jordan Blais that ended in heart break because I was overly sensitive and never told anyone. I was also a really fugly emo kid, so I'm sure that had something to do with the fact that I couldn't get a date. Go to dances?: Nope. I was too "hardcore" for that sort of thing. Favorite class?: Women's Chorus and Healthful Living (these classes alternated every other day), and then later algebra I part II. Not for the math, but for the people in it. Favorite teacher?: Mr. Weis. He was awesome. Favorite memory of the year?: Hanging out with Sara and Josh, second semester. Any inside jokes you remember from 9th grade?: Lunch porn. Outside of school, what do you remember most about 9th grade?: I was a huge dork. I updated my online journal at least twice a day. I cried a lot, often for no reason. I thought I was an intellectual, when really I was just... Not. 10th gradeWhat school did you go to?: Green Hope High School. Did you like this year?: Had you asked 10th grade Michelle, she would have told you no. But, this was actually a pretty influential year in my life. A lot of shit happened really, really fast. I’m glad everything happened the way it did, and I’m glad I found out who my friends were as a result. Who were your friends?: Same friends I listed before, but add a few. I met Josh Bowen (we called him Jesus), Rachel, Carmen, Blake, Ashley, Nicholle, Brian, Dustin, and others. I don't talk to half of the people listed anymore, but they were cool while they were around. Have a gf/bf?: Yes. For a short period in time I dated this guy named Greg, who I met while helping out at Vacation Bible School at the church my mom works for (my mom bribed me to help). Shortly after that, I hook up with Rachel who was my first “serious relationship.” Throughout the course of 10th grade year, I randomly hooked up/fell head over heels in lust over various people. But, all of those ended awkwardly, or resulted in festering heart break. Favorite class?: Chorus. Hands down. Favorite teacher?: I didn't have a favorite teacher. I was pretty bitter towards everyone who contributed towards the establishment that was Green Hope. Funniest memory?: Lots. Usually involving weed, Nicole, or weed and Nicole combined. Were you popular?: Um, I had a lot of acquaintances who thought we were “best friends.” But, no I wouldn’t say I was popular. Meet anyone new of importance?: Yeah, quite a few people. Though, I don’t talk to half of them anymore, I’m glad I had them in my life. The people I encountered and the experiences I had helped pull me out of my emo funk. Outside of school, what do you remember most about 10th grade?: Outline of 2005/2006: I started out being really emo. Said "emoness" was mostly fueled by the lusting after of various individuals. Then, the pill popping/smoking began, and I guess that pissed a lot of people off, so I lost some friends. Then, I stopped going to school for a time, mainly focusing all of my attention on popping pills, smoking weed, and watching Family Guy. I decided I was going to drop out of school and get a full time job at Brugers Bagels. Understandably, my mom got pretty pissed off at that, and after much debating, we came to the agreement that I’d finish out the school year, then she’d home school me. I went back to school, where I met John, who I randomly fell in love with. Seeing him every day was my motivation to finish school. But, we never dated. Though I wanted to. END. 11th gradeWhat school did you go to?: My mom decided she didn't want to homeschool me, so instead she sent me to another school called Community Partners Charter High School. It was basically a last resort school for red necks and pot heads. Only a few people were actually decent human beings. MAJOR down grade... Did you like this year?: Actually, yes. I really did like this year. Aside from some drama at first, it was a much easier year. Even the work was easy. I actually... Did my work. (everyone: ::gasp!::) Who were your friends?: Since it was such a small school, it wasn't too difficult making friends. I started out with just Kyle, and then I met David. Then, along came JT, and through JT, I met Ethan and Emily. Then, there was Catherine, Kailey, Josh, Katarina, and Chris.. Like anyone?: Yes. I fell in love, actually... Meet anyone new of importance to you?: I met the most important person in my life, Ethan. He is now my fiancé. :] It's hard to believe there was life before him. Best memory of this year?: Various memories of Ethan and my early relationship. Going to the fair, seeking out ninja houses at various malls, nachos, making out for like three hours on a playground, the riding around in the Ford Escort and the Corona, eating at Papa's together every day, hearing him tell me he loved me for the first time… I’m sorry, this isn’t directly related to school. Hahaha. Go to dances?: Yep. I went to prom. With Ethan, naturally. Hahaha. Were you popular?: Not really. A lot of random guys liked me, but pretty much all of them stopped talking to me when I got together with Ethan. Outside of school, what do you remember most about 11th grade?: Being mad skinny due to the ridiculous amounts of adderall I was taking. And, of course, Ethan and my relationship pretty much eclipsed everything else that could have even tried to be important this year. Oh, new love. 12th gradeWhere did you go to school?: Community Partners, still. Did you like it?: FUCK no. This was the worst school year of my life. Like or date anyone this year?: I was still dating Ethan. Was it the easiest year?: No. It was horrible. Due to the fact that I was such a fuck up my 10th grade year of school, I had six sophomore classes to take, and everyone was so immature. I only saw Ethan in the mornings as he only had two classes, and we were no longer aloud to leave for lunch. We had "snack time" which was five minutes long. I didn't actually start driving until Spring of the second semester, so I'd have to wait for my mom every day after school, which ended at 2. She'd always come get me at four. Not to mention, the school was located next to a mini ghetto, so there were hobos and gangstas everywhere. I actually looked forward to the days I had dention, as I was able to stay in the school and sleep and talk to my English teacher. Good times. Were you a bully or did you get bullied?: No. As I mentioned at the beginning of this survey, I reverted back to wallflowerism. Best in school memory?: There were no good in school memories. I lost touch with all of my friends because we didn't have any classes together, and we didn't get lunch. Were you excited to graduate?: I could give a sarcastic response to better emphasize how much I could not wait to graduate from the shit hole that was CPCHS, but even that would not be enough to truly reflect my feelings of despiration. So, I'll just say "yes" and leave it at that. Outside of school, what do you remember most about 12th grade?: Some high lights; I got a job at Mr. Toads as a barista. I worked there for the length of the school year, and then for a few months afterward. This was also the first year I worked at Triangle Town Center for Jennelle at the Christmas and Easter stands. I got my car and my driver’s license this year, and felt like a free bird. Then, at the end of the school year, in order to commemorate the end of my twelve year jaunt through school, I got a tattoo. Then, I graduated. And, that was that. OverallWhat was your favorite grade?: Probably 10th. Why?: So much shit happened, I have a lot more memories, some good, some bad, some crazy. What was your least favorite grade?: 12th. Why?: Holy hell, you'll never be able to understand how horrible this year was for me... With a combination of feeling like a prisoner in the school for the first half of the year and being trapped with a bunch of immature sophomores, how could I not hate this year? If you could go back to one grade and change something, which one?: Meh. I wouldn't change anything. What would you change?: Maybe I would have tried harder to be friendlier. Maybe. Who were your favorite bands through school?: I had so many favorite bands from so many different genres. I’m too lazy to make an in-depth list, because it would be a mile long. Were they popular bands?: Some, yes. I've always loved classic rock. How can you not like classic rock? If you rode the bus, did you like it?: It's definitely a unique memory... I remember the fumes more than anything. Why or why not?: It was just a means of getting to and from school, and my feelings towards the bus was heavily based on how I was feeling that particular day. What was your favorite TV show in school?: Family Guy. Who were your favorite sports teams?: I have always hated sports. Did anyone else like them?: Sports? No, none of my friends liked sports. What was your favorite subject?: Mainly, the written aspect of English. Who was your favorite teacher(s)?: Mrs. Julie. Least favorite class?: Anything having to do with the subject of math. Least favorite teacher?: Ms. Tomasch, 10th grade. I could not stand that woman, she was horrible to everyone she encountered. Favorite school (if you went to more than one)?: TNS Montessori. Whats the best thing you did in school?: Met my fiancé. Graduated. (Obviously) Are you still friends with your friends from school?: Some of them. We've kept in touch through facebook. Do you miss school?: I miss some of the people and the experiences, but no. I could never miss school. You've been totally
Bzoink*d!
