Ooooohh. GATE.
You pass some test that showed you were creative and got one day a week to dick around and draw guns/run through the halls. Not sure about this videotaping/i guess kids with wild imaginations may think they were part of some Cold War experiment, maybe you were? I sure wasn't.
GATE was overrated, we saved up all year for this turtle you plugged into a apple 2 and it did remedial drafting, we were supposed to be excited our fundraisers went to this piece of shit that wrote straight lines and collected dust. I so wanna call that little turtle a fagot right now. FUCK guys...
The other half of me, the dad half is sad for feeling that way tho,M because my 3y/o daughter would love that turtle and think it's super cool and be amazed, that feeling is winning out by a landslide, I wanna wake her up and hug her but she'll be up in a few hours anyway and I'll be trying to talk her out of the playground.
Funny GATE story, this one kid told this other guy I bet you can't do thirty sit-ups in a minute, and as soon as other guy started pumping em away, first guy put a pencil sharp side up perpendicular with the floor and got real fucking lucky sit-ups didn't come on the pencil with his spine, just caught it with a muscley part of the back and dealt with a puncture wound. Coulda been a serious tragedy/kid in the system over a bit of a malicious prank...instead everyone walked away unscathed and the Russians or whatever who tuned into to our shitty GATE class had a good laugh and possibly tried it out on their comrades after everyone finished their fifths.
