Half-Life Challenge Accepted

Half my life ago, I was 11 years and 55 days old, and just about to finish 4th grade. My school had decided that 28 kids were too many to have in the same class, so we were being merged with the '89's and split evenly into three classes. Our class was a mess of social intrigue and I was the odd one out for being, I kid you not, the ONLY girl (out of 14) who was doing sports.

This was about the same time that all boys all of a sudden decided that they could not be friends with a girl and all of a sudden I was left with a bunch of spice-girls imitating bitches (I wasn't much better). Half my life ago I found out that my teacher was pregnant, and thus the only good part about my new class (that I would get to keep our teacher from 4th grade) wouldn't last more than a couple of months.

Half my life ago pretty much the only good part of my life was that I was good at orienteering. Now I have friends, but I have lost that one thing that kept me going throughout primary school.
