Rep Retirement Lodge 114: Who gives a...

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 114: Who gives a...

There is one reason why I think our 8th grade 'graduation' wasn't totally ridiculous (at the time). It was the last time we all would be together as a class in that district as we had to go out of district to go to high school. Now that there is a HS in town, I really don't see the point of the ceremony. Except that it is a big step to go from middle school to high school.

That's a good way of looking at it. There's a rural district up here that only has a K-8 school. The 8th grade class takes a big trip together and has a ceremony to celebrate and say goodbye, because from there, those kids go to four different high schools. If they all went to the same one, it would be silly to celebrate that much, but they are a close knit group because of their relative isolation and small school size, so it's a big thing for them to move on.
When I was still in school, my district had a junior high (7-9) and a senior high (10-12). Our big celebration leaving junior high was the "Farewell Freshmen" semi-formal dance in the spring.

Ah yes, 8th grade graduation, where I was one of 18 in a class of 300 to have "high honors" every quarter of Jr. High. Too bad I never saw it again in high school.

Congrats to li'l! We had an 8th grade graduation because there wasn't a high school that my tiny private grade school fed into - we all went our separate ways. We didn't have caps and gowns (of course, we didn't have those for high school either), but we did have to dress nicely.

Working on a project on Chlamydia for class (we have to do a Powerpoint presentation on a type of infection and we were assigned Sexually Transmitted Diseases (Not HIV)). Luckily, we also have to write up case studies for our final and Chlamydia is also one of the options to write up a case study about - so 2 for 1 benefits on this research.

I like to put the "clam" back in "chlamydia".

No offense to Shirtless, 'diva, Geist, and all the others who enjoy it, but RUNNING SUCKS!

yes, yes it does. I just happen to enjoy the pain it brings

Hey, he's got us! Ok, nevermind. Somehow a bunch of Foopers and 2-3 actual tough guys doesn't really scream "intimidation."

who is actually tough? Me, GLM, and Shirtlessguy?

2 1/2 months to get to hj status? I wasn't aware bbdl was living with high schoolers.

Brent has no idea how long it takes to get some from a woman. Don't ask him.

You know, I was going to make the same joke, but because of my alma mater, I know "too easy" when I see it.

Hey now. I can be scary.

So, I've got to go to training in Marquette for the next three days for work, which is slightly stupid, granted, I don't mind being able to eat out for three days, have it all paid for, and stay in a pretty decent hotel.

Oh, and 'diva, I'm sure Flashy's already heard at the paint store, but Lake Linden is hiring HS English teachers.

Also @diva:

You should pay a visit to the Traverse City Cherry Festival. Word out of the <strike>DaWGs list</strike> paint store is that there's going to be a really special surprise guest appearance that I'm sure you'll love

I've heard both things, and neither came out of the paint store. (The roommates are from LL, and FM informed me of the atrocity invading my poor hometown.)

I hope I find the developers for the CMS program Team Site. So I can light them all on fire and put them out with an ax.

Bahahaha your roommates are from LL.
That sucks.
Sorry, in Calumet, we basically make fun of LL like Techies make fun of Northern if you catch my drift.

But isn't that akin to amputees making fun of burn victims?

That's OK. They make fun of themselves, too. After the rampant amount of Fowlervillian bullshyte I lived through in my last apartment, I'm not afraid of any Yooper children.
PS--you know one of them, or at least she knows you. Check your rep.

The name definitely sounds familiar, 'diva, just can't think of where I know her from.

Evening, Lodge - the last couple pages of your conversation seems to be following the theme of, "Handjobs and S&M and chlamydia, oh my! Handjobs and S&M and chlamydia, oh my!"
