EPTNow, on to the random memories.
First grade: Morning recess, now that was horrible, 15 minutes of a pathetic break, we could barely do anything and we weren't allowed soccer balls,etc at recess. Lunchtime was better because it was 45 minutes, but my lunchtime was kind of crappy because as a first grader we only played with the other second graders, and another lunchtime was for 3rd/4th and another for 5th/6th. I don't have many specific memories except when I was student of the day I forgot the pledge of allegiance and calling this hot girl with the last name "easter" an easter egg.
Second grade: This was interesting, I entered the GATE program and instantly 90% of my old friends hated me with the other 10% coming with me. At my school we only had 3 GATE classes out of about 6-7 classes per grade, so we were isolated mainly, in fact there were so few we had a 2nd/3rd grade class, a 4th/5th, and a 5th/6th. Here I met a few of my lifelong friends and some others not so long, but, this classified me as a 3rd grader, which meant I got to go to lunch at the 3rd/4th grader time. Holy shit was lunch time awesome, 45 minutes if you skipped lunch(which EVERYONE) did of a huge brawl - The lunchtime soccer game. Teams were usually 3rd against 4th grade but you could switch any time it seemed, normally 2-4 soccer balls were used with about 40-60 people on each team. Goalies sometimes numbered up to 5 or 6 and penalties for fighting and brutal tackles were non-existent. Awesomeness.
Third grade: More of the same really, the problem was that most of the crazy 4th graders were now at a different lunch time and the soccer games never really took off again, kind of disappointing. However, clogging up the massive slides with a bunch of people was always fun. This one time the old-ass creepy janitor man got angry at me because we left our lunch boxes outside our room and decided to throw mine over there like a discuss and it ended up on the roof.
Fourth grade: Finally, I was at the top of the ladder during a lunchtime, I took full advantage of my little demented self, kicking lunch boxes, throwing stuff at kids, cars passing by, etc. What fun. This one little fucker tattled on me for kicking a volleyball on top of a classroom, it's not my fault the idiots put that shit out in the open near the blacktop.
Fifth grade: These sure seem a lot more boring than the insane soccer games, but I guess they were, I don't remember anything other than just normal games of football, basketball, and standard walking around the campus. Although during a field trip once I was sitting in a seat on the bus when we were getting ready to leave and the 5th/6th grade GATE teacher told me to move to which I replied "Why?" and she said "because you can sit in the back" and I told her to go sit in the back and that resulted in a fucking day long suspension from school for me.
Sixth grade: The school was ours, despite the "no-closed game" rule, nobody got into our games unless we said. Fun year, I played like 4 sports despite having no clue what I was doing in flag football or softball. A few of my friends and I were constantly getting in trouble from the same bitch who suspended me because we kicked some stupid ass kid out of our custom-made group and then called this other kid named "Reginald Johnson" a 4 eyed retard or something like that.

I knew him throughout high school and he is one of those kids who doesn't seem to know basic human conduct and says the worst shit about people, gets in fights and gets destroyed, etc.
Oh, also had the first sex ed film, which "climaxed" when a young boy woke up in the middle of the night, looked under his blanket and went "ewww" from his apparent wet dream, oh how educating.
After graduation I moved on to an all GATE middle school which ironically was located in one of the worst places in town, adjacent to my high school which had great academics for the 200-300 GATE students and then horrible academics for the other 2000 there.
Not sure why I wrote this, but it popped into my head while I was trying to sleep last night and I decided I would share it, if I can remember more I will definitely edit this. Have any crazy/fun elementary school memories? Share away!
