Buckle Up
There’s nothing like an effort to make sure all my years of accumulated data is backed up to kick up some nostalgia (not to mention an impending birthday). I doubt anyone else much cares, but this is my website and I’ll fill it up with digital relics from my past if I want to. Consider this fair warning.
We’ll get things started with this beauty, which I wrote September 24, 1992, if the file’s timestamp can be believed. Over 31 years old, it’s the oldest digital document I can find that I wrote myself.
I do not like to go to school. All the teachers do is teach you things you already were taught in 5th grade. That is, except for math and computer class. In math, we learn all about neat things, like 3y2+4(2x3+4). Mr. Farley is a great teacher, and the other teachers should teach like he does.
In computer class we learn about computers, such as this one, and about different computer programs. That is really neat for me because I enjoy working with computers, although some kids are really dumb when it comes to computers. But it is not like English, which is the same every single year. BORING!!!!!
I suppose that Science is O.K. Mr. Freese is pretty cool, and we learn some new stuff, and some old stuff. Like the scientific method. We learned it in 7th grade, and we learn it again now. It doesn’t make any sense.
This is my story about school. I hope that someday teachers will be able to read this and learn from it. Although they won’t listen to the small ideas from a thirteen year old boy, maybe they might get ideas anyway.
For the tech nerds, the file was in WordPerfect format (which definitely squares with the technology I was using in 8th grade), and opened perfectly on my Mac using LibreOffice.
More to come!
