and walls... and just about anything ^^;; door frames... smack my hand on a railing to the stairs cause i forget to control my arms sometimes when I"m thinking. you know... normal. whatcha call it "absentminded genius" type things. xD hehehe

oh my goodness! sorry to hear about all your bruising and "abusive furniture" and now doorframes and railings too!

yeah. i'm a complete klutz . i've fallen up a staircase before.

Well that takes skill to do so kudos to you ;D

thanks i think. xD though i didn't think so at the time. carrying all those textbooks and having to weave my way through my classmates to try not to drop them as they tottered everywhere.

Have you considered investing in a backpack?

we weren't allowed to have backpacks in school . They were not proper school wear.

How is a backpack not school wear?

I have that same question :o at least, I always had a backpack. Maybe it wasn't the case at her particular school or at that time?

i have no idea . float it past my teachers. High school we could have them. but middle school and lower we had to go to are lockers. middle school was the worst cause we didn't stay in one classroom and you had to carry 6 textbooks around all day cause there was no time to get to your lockers between classes. not with 4 minutes and a big ass campus.

That was the same situation at the middle school I attended for a year. We had lockers in our homeroom classroom but we couldn't actually get to them between classes. We had to wait until lunchtime or the end of the day.

schools are stupid.. i hope i can homeschool >.>

Is there some sort of approval process to homeschool? I don't personally know anyone who was homeschooled so I am really curious Inspiration:

well you have to write out your lesson plan for the year and submit it to the school by July 1st. (each state/district/counties have their own rules) I've only looked at some of the rules, because currently I'm not going to be able to homeschool cause my girls have special needs. . .

Seriously? My parents didn't have to submit anything o.o I simply started school in 3rd grade.

*Waves and Symph* Homeschooled for my younger years. Hi.

The Wandering Poet, was there a particular reason your parents wanted to homeschool for a few years before enrolling you in a school?

Honestly I have no idea.

do you think it affected things much, to be homeschooled

Well... considering things, probably screwed me up pretty badly to be honest. I had almost no friends most of my life, and I think that contributed to a lot of it. If one is to homeschool you need to actively make sure your kid can socialize with other kids their age.

Aw. Well did they at least make sure you socialized well with your parents or family members?

Not really no. I had usually maybe 1 friend if I was lucky at any given time. That trend seems to have continued my whole life.

Well here on Menewsha you seem fine in terms of socializing...

The internet is a magical thing [lol]

so I feel like it means you're mentally capable of socializing if you do well in conversations on Menewsha?

Typing is far easier to do because you can erase if it sounds stupid
