On Being a Grown-up in High School
Ways that I have found that I'm like a 14-year-old Freshman
- I text my friends during class
- I can fall asleep on the slightest provocation
- Sometimes the bathroom CAN'T wait
- The end-of-the-school-day bell is like sweet music
- Lunch is never timely enough
- Study hall is time for me to catch up with my friends and talk about the kids in class (I "team teach" study hall with a special ed teacher, who is on the same sarcastic level as me. I think it's amazing how I can always find SOMEone like me no matter where I roam)
Reasons why I know I'm a grown up now
- I get to write on the over head and NOT get in trouble for it
- I realize that a compass is not a torture device best used to stab legs
- I don't have to go home on the bus
- I have a key to get into all the cushy bathrooms (you know, with little luxuries like toilet paper, paper towels, and profanity free walls)
- I get to drink pop during school hours (apparently, I DO need all the energy I can get)

This is amazing.
However, some of your topics appear to be quite far fetched. For example, what are profanity free bathrooms? I was under the impression that even my grandpa's bathroom contained at least one heart-encased 'Francine loves Humphrey'.
Also, I don't know about you, but the compass has always been, is currently, and always will be my number one choice for violent activities.
I'd like to try the same exercise, but I'm afraid that I'm really way more like a 14 year old than I am like any other grown up. An incredibly uncool 14 year old.
Text during class if you must, but please tell me you don't text and drive. I saw a girl texting on the highway yesterday. And while I'm sure she thought her driving was not impaired, I assure you it was and I couldn't wait to get past her.
BTW: was the past tense of "to text?"
"texted"??... I'm not sure!
I don't text and drive. I tried to read a text at a stop light once, and almost bumped into the car in front of me and got honked at to go when the light turned green from the car behind me. So, I thought since I'm only in my car 30-60 minutes a day, texts can wait.
But when you say it out loud, doesn't "texted" sound weird, like you don't know how to speak correctly? I'd really like to get this issue cleared up. Maybe I should try Grammar Girl. Have you heard of her? She's fabulous.
I'm glad you don't text and drive since I love you and don't want to lose you :-) Anyway, I figured you are too smart for that anyhow!
Yay for going back to school...
I start in January, which is called the "Spring semester" at this school...
A real misnomer, because Spring in Minnesota won't be coming until mid-May, maybe even June....
...and, there's a 30% chance of snow on Sunday...
I love this town :)
