The wonder years 23-26

The first episode I saw was about the last day of school. Kevin asks winnie to sign his yearbook but she only writes "enjoy your summer" or something similarly impersonal. Kevin feels like his summer vacation is a bust even though it just started. His dad makes him clean the garage so while he does that, winnie talks with him and kisses him while he goes on a rant. Like most girls at that age, she runs across the street to her house leaving kevin even more confused. He goes to the neighborhood bbq in evening and then he realizes how much life is changing since paul and winnie are going with their families on vacation. He confronts winnie about how confusing she is and if she likes him. She mentions that she misses her brother and she doesn't know. At the end, winnie and kevin chat on the porch.

The 2nd episode I saw was about kevin's vacation. The arnold family goes on their yearly beach town trip only this time they take paul with them(apparently he didn't go with his family on vacation). Jack is complaining about the prices while karen is just complaining, kevin is the only one that has a positive attitude. At the beach, kevin meets an older girl so he lies about his age. At dinner, kevin asks his mom if he can go to the pier to meet the girl. At the pier she lets kevin know she will only be at the beach one more day and that she will write to him. Kevin is bummed as he walks to the room but he sees his family and for the first time that trip, they all have a good time together just like old times. 

The 3rd episode I saw was about kevin's math class. I'm sure we can all relate to when kevin is struggling in math when he is used to getting A's and B's. Kevin starts off the school year with 2 straight D's on quizes. He realizes that school is getting harder so he goes to his teacher for tutoring. Luckily kevin's math teacher doesn't give up on him and he is able to get better grades. This episode brought me back to 2nd grade and english. I remember learning and attempting to learn about pronouns and adjectives and adverbs which still scare me. The scene where kevin is taking a test and he panics and looks around and sees everyone writing while he starts sweating reminds me of me everytime I take a test.

The 4th episode I saw was about wayne getting his driver's license. Norma and jack have him do errands since he is eager to drive. One of which includes driving kevin and paul to the mall. Wayne is not happy having to do this so he gives kevin a hard time. Kevin ignores him since he meets his "dream" girl. Wayne ever the jerk picks up kevin from the mall but he does the old "speed up when they are about to open the door trick" leaving kevin humiliated in front of the girl
