Ahh the joys of childhood

I spent the morning/early afternoon/probably late afternoon organizing the attic with my mom today. Most of the time was spent going through my old school stuff and might I just say that I was a hilariously dorky kid. From comments on my grade 1 report card saying my teacher had never met someone who'd liked math as much as me to an elaborate description of a game called "boarding school" that I liked to play in grade 6 (actually for most of my life this was a fantastic game).

I was also struck by how perceptive my teachers in grade 1 and 2 were. They were able to observe things about me that I am only just realizing about myself. It's crazy how much of your personality is there at such a young age. I honestly wouldn't say I have changed that much from when I was 5. I suppose I've had a lot of pseudopersonalities since then, but really, aren't we all 5 at heart?
