Oh, that Jenny…

In middle school we had a choice between two tables. There were four classes who would all eat at the same time, but two of them were on one side of the cafe and two were on the other. If none of your friends were in your class or the other class that shared your side, you were out of luck. Our teachers still made us walk in single file line to lunch, too.The only interesting thing that resulted from lunch in middle school is that my lunch in eighth grade didn’t come until 1:30, in the middle of 6th period (out of 7). Four people on my one team fainted. I wonder if they ever made the connection.

I went to a k-5 then 6-8 and then 9-12…
K-5 We had a cafeteria… and each class (not grade) was designated two long tables with benches on either side. We really didn’t have much of a choice of who to sit with or where. If all your friends were in another class you were kind of screwed (ahem 5th grade ahem). In fourth grade though they remodeled the entire school and everyone was eating in their classrooms. They’d load a cart and roll it down the hallway. (Our school was immensely small though. It was a u shape.) fifth grade we actually got our own cafeteria that didn’t double as a gymnasium/multipurpose room. (though the gym still did plays and what not)

Middle school they had some strange system that you had to sit within a certain section per six weeks. You could not move at all during that six week period. I have no idea why. Round tables about five per table. Each section had different colored chairs. there might have been four or five different ones.

High school only time i ever really ate in the cafeteria was first semester of freshman year. Second semester I was hanging out outside the main gym or in the choir room. Later on, the library. (I was such a dork).

Teheheh about the VCR being a big deal in the book.
