Craik School
or How I Spent 13 Years.
I spent 13 years in Craik, learned some stuff, but mostly just had a good time. I still say I learned more from some of the people than what was taught in class. Here's some funny stuff that was said, and some pictures from 2002, the year we gradutated.
Ever said something which you didn't really intend to be funny, but everyone laughed anyways?
Ever met someone who could not keep their foot out of their mouth? Ever wish you had written
all of that kind of stuff down? Well, throughout my Grade 12 year at Craik High, I did write that
stuff down. I had a page in the back of every binder for stuff stupid people
Uhmm, waitasec. stupid stuff people said. The chemistry
binder's pages almost needed their own book! Anyway, after a long hiatus, here they are, finally
posted to bring a smile and perhaps a memory from back in the day.

Now, a lot of those quotes involve some inuendo, but nothing tops Jocelyn's inadvertent outburts. I had the digital camera in math class, when we were all working an assignment together. Jocelyn and Rae were fooling around, and I snapped a picture of the two of them. Jocelyn sees the picture on the preview screen, and says something like "Oh my gosh, look at my big bush!" in reference to her hair. Rae and I fell over laughing, literally. Jocelyn snapped another picture, this one of Rae and I on the floor.
