4. "RE: Elder Days Story Time: Home Ec"
In response to message #0
 
   It sounds like your Home Ec experience was about the opposite of mine (also 1985, give or take). In 7th grade everyone cycled around the 5 "arts" classes over the course of the year (which was in trimesters, so it made the rotation schedules weird): "Art" (painting and whatnot), Wood Shop, Metal Shop, Music, and Home Ec. Everybody dreaded Home Ec, because one of the requirements was to sew a canvas bag. Except for some reason I took to it like a duck to water, and really enjoyed it. So much that I made something like six or seven of them, and gave them out as holiday gifts that year. Of course, I've never touched a sewing machine since, nor do I have any real interest at this point, but it was fun at the time.

The only other part I remember about it was we got to learn some cake decorating, and for a about a year and a half I was actually able to make roses out of frosting. That's something I might even be able to do again if I put in the practice, since I do enjoy cooking and baking, but it's easier to get one from the store :)

No recollection of balancing a checkbook, but there's a lot about 7th grade I don't remember (probably intentionally at this point)...
