      So you don't know but I dropped out of school in 8th grade (2.5years go) with good grades, because I had a plan. Starcraft 2 helped undo those plans.

      It all begins at the start of 6th grade. Actually I'll start from 3rd grade, but I'll abridge that part.

      3rd Grade I had a crone of a teacher. She was old and had white hair. Mrs.Forntine or something was her name. Anyways one day we were watercolouring and I stuck a few fingers in the water and started using them as paintbrushes. She didn't like that and took away my painting supplies. I threw a fit and then for no reason she dumped over my desk. I told my parents when I got home, they told the principal and then she "retired" shortly after. My parents made me move schools to one that I could ride the school bus to so my mother didn't have to drop me off and then pay for daycare after school.

      So the new school was called Mountain View Elementary (for any of you who want to stalk the school is in Washington State. Yakima, specifically). Guess what? My 3rd grade teacher there was also old and had white hair. Mrs. Barenette was nicer and less old. I was the new kid on the block so I was wooed by girls. Specifically a girl named Kierstyn and her cousin Showie (I wish I was making these names up, however I checked my year books to make sure I spelled their names right). Guess what? They were assigned seats right next to me. 3rd grade girls are SCARY man. So 3rd grade is pretty mellow besides me getting in trouble a lot for my temper.

      4th grade felt the same as 3rd grade. Mrs. Leonard was my teacher this time. She wasn't old and she didn't have white hair. She had brown hair and was fat and jolly. So besides me getting into more trouble because my temper was...elitist, I learned long and short division and I read book 1-12 of Series of Unfortunate Events (13 wasn't out yet). I still haven't read the thirteenth book.

      5th grade is where it starts to get interesting. For the first time in my life, my teacher wasn't a woman. His name was Mr.Prescott. A BOSS who TAMED ME. So band had been going on since 4th grade and I had opted out of it. However half of our class was in band. While band practiced in the gym we were in the stage backroom that had Apple computers lining the walls (Apple Macintosh? keyboard was built into the case and the monitor only had black and green as colors). He taught us touch typing. The program we used didn't count errors so it was me and 3 other kids beasting it up at 150wpm after a few weeks. He told us once we all got to a minimum of 20WPM he would have the class use computers instead of paper to do everything. So about late November we reached that goal. These computers were newer, Still Apples and gay 1button mouses but the keyboard was separate from the case and the screen was in 8-bit Colors! OH MAN IT WAS COOL. Mid December came and Mr.Prescott gave us dire news. The whole school district was upgrading to Dells over Winter Break. And he couldn't send/receive work papers from the apples for some reason. We all shed a tear.

      After winter break we came back to desks empty of computers and a cold classroom as a result. If that wasn't an injustice, There was now a computer lab with all the old(still pretty new) Apples that the teachers used with stupid round 1button mouses and retardedly stiff apple keyboards. And on TOP of that. Mavis Beacon. Let that program die in hell. So my words per minute tanked. Down down down it went until I was chugging along at 60wpm, 50Correct wpm. OH and at the end of the year we went to Silver Wood Theme Park for Science day. BEST FIELD TRIP EVAR! First time I rode a roller coaster (timber terror; tremors was too scary looking for me). Bus left from the school at 5am and we didn't get back until midnight.

You know what I'll save grades 6-8.5 for next time. This is pretty long already and this is abridged.

TL:DR: Fuck you, read it or don't post.

You might have some problems distinguishing gender.

Also there isn't anything out of the ordinary with your life experiences. You appear to be very young... Don't waste your youth.

I have finished. According to the state. I have my GED (General Equivalency Diploma) instead of a High School Diploma.

Funny thing is you didn't read it. You read the first line and then replied. GG you for premature posts.

Don't see that. I guess you need to read your own blog.

It's acceptable. No painfully obvious spelling/grammar mistakes. Just a bunch of random capslock phrases thrown in for good measure.

Lol yeah. Testosterone and estrogen production from the gonads hasn't started yet, so small 3rd grade kids are have identical hormonal profiles. Doesn't matter if you were male or female at such a young age.

Sounds like the Apple IIe.

I think back in like 3rd grade we had Apple Machintosh II's, I must be a littled younger than you. Though by then they had already been discontinued for a year or two. But man, they were stupid. The rest of the world was working with the brand spanking new Windows 95, we were playing Oregon Trail. Yup, what educational value...
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

dumped over your desk made me think you meant she took a shit on your desk! The image of a granny shitting on some kids desk had me laughing pretty hard before i realised u meant she just knocked your desk over... right?

How are you goin to post a blog and not even touch the topic your wrote it on...

this is stupid, sorry. We all went to grade school and we all had similar stories to that.. where's the good part? You know, the part you decided to write this blog about in the first place? You said you typed 150 wpm but you cant type 4-5 paragraphs without "doing more later"? wow.

Now we all know why you dropped out of school; you're lazy :/

I dont think people realise how meta this post is. Its a reflection of the op's entire life. He had some talent (getting good grade 150 wpm) but then he just quit. Just like this blog he quit when he was half done.

Even his posting is meta. He made 1 crappy reply, got called out for it, and quit replying.

But we don't even know why he quit yet. Maybe his mom died or something. Then you'd feel like a total ass.

Then maybe he should have given some more info instead of leaving us hanging like its Little Orphan Annie's decoder pen message is next week and we all should tune in since we are so curious
