So, I have about a weeks worth of reading to catch up on in my city planning and music classes. This brings up a…..drum roll please:

Disappointing memory from Grade School!

Disappointing memory #1
The scene: Mrs. Knoll’s 2nd Grade at Saint Simon’s Catholic School

Mrs Knoll: We're going to do something fun now. Who wants to play a game?!
Class and 2nd Grade Nick: [raising hands] Me! Me! Me!
Mrs. Knoll: All right then. We are going to play a game called Ketchup!
Nick: [thinking] Wow! A game named after ketchup, that red stuff that I don’t like to put on my French fries (yet)
Mrs. Knoll: Yes. CATCH UP! Catch up on all the work we’re behind on. (laughs at the class while handing out math work sheets)

Mrs. Knoll was not exactly known as the nicest teacher at good ol’ Saint Simon’s.
