When I graduated from high school, I used part of my graduation money to buy a trunk, which I then refinished. I then put many growing-up things in it.
Then I went off to college and it stayed in my parents’ garage. When I moved to Portland, I brought it over, and it’s been hanging out in my aunt’s basement ever since. It’s a big trunk, and I don’t have room for it at my house.
Because of circumstances, it is time to empty the trunk so it can be sold.
Inside were two jewelry boxes which were full of this and that. Some of it I remembered, some, like this piece of paper, I didn’t.
I think this was a cover on my 6th grade desk that I decided to save for nostalgia reasons (I guess?) Let’s zoom in on some of the sections.
Despite the lower right corner being explicit about not drawing on the paper, it’s full of drawings. Perhaps I meant that I was only one who could draw on it? I liked my wish to not have spelling. I know spelling tests went away sometime in junior high or high school. The returned for my senior year of high school, though, much to my annoyance. I still wasn’t great at them.
You can see another spelling related wish, to get 100 on my spelling test. Also a wish to make it to seventh grade (there was no doubt), an example of printing and cursive, and my friend Natalie’s new address in Fruitland. She was moving over the summer.
I like my illustration of Mount Saint Helens before and after, as well as Jaws and my celebration of 100 squares. I’m not sure what the 100 squares thing was about, but good job past me, for achieving that.
Also in one of the jewelry boxes? My Pizza Hut nametag. You can see that I was a service professional.
