High School Momments...funny..embarassing.. bad....take it backs!

Oh my GOSH! Some things thinking back make me want to crawl under a rock and DIE!

Those were mostly middle school days. The MOST awkward time of my life!
In fact I was thinking back on some things lask night in bed and started squirming at the thought of how weird I was..
I cant share those with you but Ill think of somethings


Lets see..

Im middle school my bus drive liked to come at all different times. I was always alone getting ready because my mom had to work before the bus came. I had to chase the bus all the way down my street while some kids watched out the back door pointing and laughing. There wasnt another stop for a mile. I didnt know how long I was going to last trying to hold my bookbag and jacket and run fast as the bus. FINALLY the driver saw me. When I got on the bus half of them stood up and imitated me running with my AHH face..

Again in middle school we had those projectors and I couldnt see what the teacher was writing down so I was leaning reeeeeeeeally far over. BOOM! I go down taking a few desks and chairs with me.

I pop up saying 'Im ok Im ok' with out looking at anyone. A very Mary Catherine Gallagher moment for me

Lets see in highschool....
Of course I take back all the skipping classes

umm

I cant really think of anything at the time..
hmmm
Let me think and Ill get back

Two moments stick in my mind... one was 4th grade one was 6th... lesson learned, I laid low after that...

In 4th, I won the spelling bee and had to go to the next level. AND I had to go first. I was a nervous wreck. So up I go (youngest, or at least shortest, there) and here's the mic... my word is screwdriver... phew... okay breath... okay .... S-C-R-E-W-D-R-I-V... then I pause to do the big finale ER, and instead blurt out ING.

OY, that was bad.... I cried.

In 6th we had a talent show, and moron that I was I decided to sing. And not just any song, I picked Bette Midler "From a Distance"... so here I am wailing away (I think maybe I was doing okay, not great but okay) when the jerk in charge of the stereo decided it would be funny to cut the sound. On I go for a bit... then trickle off like a yodeler choking on a bug... absolute silence, then nothing but gales of laughter... in front of the entire school.

Suffice it to say I never joined another band, choir, or any club of any kind that would draw any type of attention. Lesson Learned.

I remember one time for some kind of talent show....I was in about 6th or 7th grade? I can't really remember, but oh well.

I was supposed to sing a song and do sign language too. I remember singing about half the song before I remembered that my hands were supposed to be moving too! I also remember being really upset that day about lots of things, like the fact that I had to go first even though someone else came before me in the alphabet, and my clothes weren't right, and just stuff like that. I wonder if there was some PMS involved, besides regular ole stage fright and middle-school-ness? Usually I'm not that dramatic except the day before I start.



This other one was actually from college and totally PMS related. TOTALLY NOT MY FAULT!!!
I was supposed to do a power point and 3-5 minute speech on a topic. It was a hard topic; endocrine disruptors. Anyway, I felt really disorganized when I tried to do my powerpoint work, but I thought that the speech was OK so I saved it. The next day I got my period. It was awful, but I did make it to my class on time with my laptop and all my stuff on it. Then I got up there to talk. I could NOT for the life of me read the printed word in my notes and then say the word outloud. It's like there was a broken link between my mind and my tongue!! I couldn't concentrate, it felt kinda like being drunk except that I wasn't in the least. It was AWFUL!!!! horrible!!! the worst possible thing that could happen!!!!!
I found out later that was a symptom of PMS, though I forget the name for it. The teacher probably thought I was drunk

The class had only 2 tests, a tiny amount of homework and that speech assignment. Needless to say I FAILED and it wasn't for lack of effort, and I really enjoyed the class most of the time! It was just awful!

(That was the only class that I ever failed btw)
