Remember the time.... (So what do you remember from Jr. High?)

With Alex starting Jr. High, of course I get the chance to sit back an remember my Jr. High years. Actually, I really don't have to put a whole lot of work into that since I have journal of those years. So I have been reading my many pages of the mischief, roller coaster ups and downs of romance, family drama and everything else.

In my readings, I recorded:

• my first kiss, which was great and every bit a Jr. High kiss. That was shortly followed my my first heartbreak :-(...thanks.
• the nervousness of the first day of school.
• my first encounter with a Marine (Sgt. Padgett) You didn't mess with this man at ALL!!
• my first sleepover at a BOY's house....I thought my mom was NUTS!!!! so did Robert.
• poems my first real best friend wrote , whom I miss now.
• my own poems of sadness, joy and goofy loves. (Maybe, I'll publish them here one day, should I?)

I have four full journals of all my adventures in Jr. High. What memories and LAUGHS!!! I hope Alex can skip a lot of this junk in his Jr. High career. I am going to try really hard to help him along those paths. He is a very handsome kid. I worry. David said that when he was in Jr. High the girls didn't talk to him because he was "intimidatingly HOT." Oh brother!!! If that is true I hope he passed some of that on to our boy.

So here we go....let the good times roll.

So what's something you remember from Jr. High?

you don't need to have gone to the same Jr. High, after all no matter where or when you went, it was pretty much the same everywhere wasn't it?
