I live in the same rural area for nearly my entire life where I’m used to all kinds of weather, for better or for worse lol. Snow is obviously one of them but I remember one time two years ago, it snowed right in the middle of freaking April! It still baffles me to this day.
I bet that reunion went swell. I just recently reunited with my old classmates when two of our friends are getting married to each other. Btw, I’m 19, graduated from high school a year ago, so I didn’t exist yet when Garfield first appeared in 76 (“Jon” came out around two years before this comic strip series and shared the same characters and even the same creator as this strip)
When I was at school (I’m 19 and graduated from high school a year ago; been going to that particular school district for 12-14 years), they still taught us typing stuff and the positions of our fingers on the keyboard, that only goes all the way up to middle school though. I actually have a hard time doing that sort of thing because I usually prefer typing with both of my index fingers.
And no, I don’t think they do typing tests anymore, at least in my school anyways.
At least I’m not one of those kids who upgrades everything or gets the latest thing just to keep up. I prefer to stick with something until it finally stops working.
There are lot of reasons why I really don’t trust a school board. Although I’m still good friends with my old principals though.
