We were put in different classes, and we gradually and predictably drifted apart. In fact, I only saw her a few weeks ago for the first time in over 25 years (she had changed completely and was incredibly overbearing, so maybe splitting us up brought her out of her shell.).<br /><br />I had read too much Enid Blyton and was desperate to go to my snobby girls' school (a convent, to boot) as I thought it would be all jolly japes and wizard wheezes. In reality it turned out to be a ghastly, closed-minded place where I sank like a stone within the first term. <br /><br />Afternoon Delight horrified me a bit as it seemed to be about older people (they sounded at least thirty) "doing it". And in broad daylight! Love Me For a Reason by the Osmonds was Number 1 the week I started Big School. A song about why you SHOULDN'T "do it". Much more appropriate for someone beginning five years of hell in a convent.Kolley Kibberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055145770836351738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232389689701494095.post-20725864827673187692011-07-07T08:13:06.742-07:002011-07-07T08:13:06.742-07:00I can still tell you the date I started secondary ...I can still tell you the date I started secondary school - Tuesday 4 September 1984 (although that might be because it was the day after my birthday). That first day was basically fine, and all my (many) fears evaporated, although things did get worse later on. <br /><br />I love Afternoon Delight, and the Starland Vocal Band, not least for their pointlessly detailed name. You're a band! You sing vocals! We get it!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08449084108586525683noreply@blogger.com
