The Gallery .. Education

23 Mar

This week’s theme for the Gallery is education.

And, quite frankly I can’t believe I am putting this photo on here … it’s one of me taken in the art room at the grammar school I went to.  I think I was in the 5th year at the time, but not entirely sure.  I ran in to my old art teacher the other day and sadly had to tell him that I had not become the next Picasso of the art world.  Art class was fun, but I was pretty crap at it.  No, it was my physics class where I really excelled.  Bahahahahaha.  Not.  I actually failed both of those o’ levels and I’m not really sure why.  I mean, I didn’t goof off or get distracted in either class.  Much.

Anyway.

I’d just had all my hair lopped off in to that rather stylish curly bob.  What was I thinking?  Scary or wot?  I’m sure it was a lot blonder than it looks in this photo.  I mean, it could almost be mistaken for ginger, couldn’t it?  Maybe it was strawberry blonde?

I loved that school jumper though … almost wish I still had it.  Maybe not.

That’s my #1 fan’s arm in the background … she’d just come back from a holiday in Corfu and was showing off her tan even though it was fecking freezing!

Yeah … it’s really great to see that I have managed to maintain that same goofy laugh.  FFS  *eyes rolling*

OMFG — again, I can’t believe I am putting this photo on here.

    That is so bizarre because I swear you look exactly like my best friend at school – even down to the jumper!
    She had the same hair also. Clearly it’s a ‘look’ enjoyed by many back in the day!

    You’re rocking the perm better than I was at that age. I also had big glasses too *hangs head in shame*

    I am loving the laugh! You look like you are having a whale of a time…I still have that hair…always will have. Can’t fight the curl!

    Hahaha, that hair is AWESOME! Said the girl who had similar hair for a few years in middle school…

    I have naturally curly hair so didn’t need a perm, but this haircut is very familiar!! ;o)
