Coffee and High School

angelakI think I need coffee. I’m tired. I didn’t make my own trip to the Front Street Market…
Learning lab is all set up. I just looked out the window and Bill parked next to my Camaro. Wonder if he notices the pentagram on the rear window. He probably doesn’t even know it’s mine, even if he did notice.

I’m slightly hungry, but I don’t feel I should eat. Maybe I’ll just have a breakfast bar. Of course, I did go swimming last night.
In response to Inna… I had both good High school friends, and good grades. It’s not that hard to balance both, really. No harder than it is to balance work, friends, family, exercise, all the things I do now that I’m out of high school. People who think high school social lives will make a difference in their advancement and career even just a few years down the road, are completely correct. The friends will probably drift away, and they’ll be left wishing they’d focused more. Or they just won’t care.
I myself am glad I went to LWTC when I did. It allowed me to stay motivated and learn those years. When high school is just something that lacks motivation for most people. Even me.
I’m not going to be arrogant and make anyone else feel belittled and say that “high school was always way too easy…” because there were times that I had to try pretty hard. For instance, math. Personal pet peeve of mine when people do lump all of high school into one thing, and assume that it’s all “way too easy.” But I will say this… the pace is slower and often, there isn’t need for such a slow pace.
Because frankly, high school just teaches you to deal with people that you have no choice in the matter of seeing. Like them or hate them.
Anyway. That’s it.
