Welcome to MTGS
Dec. 12th, 2002 09:28 pmI have been hunting down my old L5 books to revise from - I've found a few, but not all. The reason is, of course, rooting around in the library, I found a bunch of other stuff. The weirdest was an orange booklet thingit - I had to start reading it before I realised it was the booklet I was given before my first day at Merchants'. Someone has written on the flyleaf, carefully and in calligraphy pen:
"Iona Sharma 3N - 10th September 1998."
I read it all through. I never realised how condescending it was the first time I read it... the stuff they say!
"You may have studied science in your junior school.."
"At breaktime - perhaps you used to call this playtime!"
I even found the first piece of homework I ever did. It's a piece of writing intended to describe myself.
In my large, spiderish first-year handwriting, I have written:
"I am perfectly aware the rest of the world at lage regard me as an eccentric with a slightly twisted way of thinking..."
It goes steadily downhill from there.
Was I ever so young?
Because I am so aged now...
