#1. I don't see you as the sentimental type in that sense. I don't know many people who feel sentimental about their junior high. And the shirt probably wouldn't fit you now, anyway. Especially if you deferred your growth spurt until high school.
Correct, but actually it's because I also have a plastic iguana I'd gotten from a field trip when I was about 9 or so. Surprisingly enough, I can still put the shirt on -- sure it's logically tight, but it's not so tight that I can't move around. I just wear clothes until they start falling apart.

2 and 3 are most likely true. I was the same way. We had to keep a diary for one of our teachers but I was permitted to staple mine shut and she accepted my need for privacy. I recently ripped it open.
I think you and I are very similar

That was nice of her to allow that. There are unfortunately those that simply only care about results and wouldn't go beyond what they're paid to do.
As for being similar, I wonder... I hesitate making that claim not because I believe it's straight up false, but rather that any time I do it seems to be an overreach on my part, focusing way too on what's the same that I totally miss what's different. In other words, I'm not sure I'm a good judge of that.
