But the second part sounds more like reality for most kids, including me. I couldn't procrastinate too much because I had my teacher mother supervising and she made sure I got started earlier; otherwise I'm sure I would have actually missed deadlines when I was younger. My procrastination streak runs deep! By the time I got to high school and then university I did better. <br /><br />My father told me stories of helping his mother paper the walls using newspaper and flour paste. They were poor and used what they had. It was for insulation more than decoration. I can also remember my own mother using flour paste to put up real wallpaper, the kind without glue already on it. It looked like fun but I'm sure it was anything but . . . . . way off topic here! I love that your mom kept your project and that everything was still holding up!<br /><br />jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-74326237644768507182018-02-21T15:43:09.191-07:002018-02-21T15:43:09.191-07:00Oh memories...memories.

We did our projects in books with lined pages on the left for writing and blank pages on the right for the pictures. Grade seven teacher demanded the book have a cover with a title and author. she handed me and several other kids, a large sheet of brown paper to use as a cover, and I brought the book in the next Monday. I was deducted five points for not handing it in on time, but got a decent grade on it. all those years I hadn't realised a project could be so much fun.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-22428307240456373992018-02-21T14:24:31.848-07:002018-02-21T14:24:31.848-07:00Ha!
