Holy cow!! It’s been 20 freaking years already!?
I’ve just received a reminder about our Class of ’88 matric reunion for next month WAH!!!
Unbelievable … feels like just yesterday that I was wearing that revolting blue dress,
locked up in the boarding house with 3 geriatric “house mothers”, not being allowed to wear
any pants (let alone a jean-pant, heaven forbid!), devouring white rolls laden with condensed milk
and chips at midnight feasts, staying up all night cramming for tests and exams, being forced to
dress in a nun’s outfit for church every Sunday, using up every excuse in the book to get out of
Physical Torture periods, eating watered down pineapple jam on stale white bread (eewwww),
standing in line for panty inspections, trying my best not to fall asleep in assembly,
challenging the teachers I thought were complete morons, sticking toothpaste in my eyes to
fake pink-eye so that I could bunk school, being rationed to one roll of toilet paper per week
that you had to guard with your life in case someone nicked it, painting up a glorious storm
in the art room, watching Dallas, Twin Peaks and The A-Team in the common room,
cutting other people’s hair for them and applying endless awful home perms,
the joyous relief of discovering that I had passed matric and had two “A’s” under my belt.
20 years. Wow.
well if you’re not, then I will: ROFL!! 😀
dare i say.. rofl 😀
@linda … yeah, of course … LUVVED IT 😀
@Po … they were AWFUL!!! Seriously, thinking about it again now makes me totally shudder … we actually lifted our skirts in front of the ENTIRE school to show off our undies! And they had to be those revolting regulation-blue nylon hot-pant style specimens *horrors*
Panty inspections? Reminds me of my school days, we had panty rules too! I think it is hilarious now but back then it made me want to scream!
got to love being mistaken for his sister!
You HAVE looked after yourself – well done.
*jealous*
🙂
@Steven … it’s going to be SOOOOOO weird!! OMG, seeing all the old Rusty Bugs *minor freak out*
I haven’t *really* looked after myself that well actually, I think I’ve been blessed with some good genes … I went to a meeting at Son#1’s school last week and got mistaken again for his sister hahaha 🙂
yeah right 😉 you an angel, i’m sure…..
Enjoy it though, and honestly now, I can’t believe you’ve been outta school for 20 years 😮 you’ve really looked after your body!
There were some NAWTY chics in that bunch LOL!
Me? I was an angel 😀
Eek! You girls all look like rebels without a cause!
