Kelly...YOU couldn't type? Considering a keyboard has been integral in our cp-ship these past 4 years, I find this hard to swallow! LOL.
Speaking of typing, I took it in 11th grade. My good friend was a great typist, but for the life of her, could not do the math on the margins. I wasn't the type to cheat on exams, but also knew she'd fail without my help. So come the final, I whispered the margins to her. And while I don't advocate cheating, we not only got away with it, but we are still friends to this day...
LOL! My secret is out, Tina! I shamefully know some keys but I still have to peek at my fingers every minute or so, otherwise I type the wrong key and must backspace to correct. hehe.
And yes, sometimes our pals need a helping hand once in a while. Thanks for sharing! :)
Mrs. Smith, my English teacher senior year. She amped up my writing by forcing the class to keep journals. We had to write something in our journal everyday and turn it in on a weekly basis. I had at least ONE thing to talk about (driving lessons) or I would've been screwed. LOL.
Kelly,
You met your hubby in h.s.?!?
How sweet!
GW, I'd probably be making things up in my high school journal. haha! I probably wouldn't have wanted to turn in what was really on my mind. hehe. ;)

Hi Wendy, yes, we knew each other then--good friends. I always say it was a good thing we didn't hook-up then because we probably wouldn't have gotten hitched! :) :)
