2. I flunked trigonometry in summer school!

Summer of 1984, I took trig at Roosevelt High School. I had to drop out of it second semester of my sophomore year, and even on the second try, I still fucked up. It wasn't a good time in my life.

I have been thinking of The Breakfast Club since the earlier thread this morning, and that conversation between Judd Nelson and Anthony Michael Hall, where he's flunking out of shop class because he couldn't make a lamp.

"Without trigonometry, there'd be no engineering."

"Without lamps, there'd be no light."

I took a lot of summer school in college, though, and by then I had my shit together and did fine.

4. I hated it, my parents made me pay for it too

Cost an extra $110 bucks to go.

7. Dude, that is cruel

My parents paid my tuition for it, but my mom did tell me years later that during that time she used to cry herself to sleep every night over me. :eyes:

5. I didn't show up for school during the regular year
