I hated sleep away camp too.

aww we didn’t have our sleep away camp (we called it outdoor ed) until 6th grade. Ours was pretty awesome, sorry yours was miserable!

I can’t believe you had elections in elementary school! We didn’t start that until middle school. I guess WA is just way ahead of CA.

I totally laughed when I read the part where you were chased around during recess and playing hard to get. Haha.

I ran as vice president in the sixth grade and lost. I was soooo devastated and overly sensitive about the whole thing. It sounds like you took your loss so much better than my pathetic eleven year old self!

I was in fifth grade when my parents split up and my dad temporarily moved into this old house – one of the rooms had this horrible green carpet BUT at the time green was my favourite colour so I thought it was soooo cool! Haha

So funny about class president. I’m pretty sure I ran for class president at some point too but did not win. Probably a good thing, in hindsight.

I can’t believe you had to get up and sing a song if you put your elbows on the table! Talk about embarrassing!

I think 5th grade is where “couples” started forming, at least in my school. We were the “Big Kids on Campus” and going to middle school next year. I had a couple in my class where the guy actually bought her a necklace for Christmas that year! They were TEN and he was already buying her jewelry. Talk about crazy!

Elections!! Omg, I completely forgot about that. I’m sure I ran for some positions too. I seriously want to do this but I need to ask my parents what happened with kindergarten.

I loved field trips!

ahh, 5th grade camp! I’m sorry yours sucked – I still have great memories from mine! I ran for president in 5th grade too but I have no idea why (I lost).

“I played hard to get” This made me laugh out loud. Also? you had school elections in fifth grade? That’s amazing. We never had that crap til 8th!
