three and a half years

So today I returned to school.

I wondered if anyone other than Erika had noticed I was gone. "Maybe in English they noticed, since that's one of the only classes where I actually participate (because there's actually something to participate in)."

Then someone hit me (literally). It was Morgan, my I-don't-know-why-I-know-you-because-people-who-wear-black-and-chains-24/7-scare-me "friend". "Lauren!" she screamed, "You're not dead!" I found that ironic since that was just what I was talking about in yesterday's comments.

It turned out that they noticed I was gone in orchestra, too. But only when they started playing.

Overall, I should deem it a good day. But I can't.

Going back to school just reinforces that horrid idea that this is how I am to spend my next three and a half years - at the least. Every day, wake up, go to school, live there for awhile, go home, go to bed, wake up. And repeat that same cycle, day after day after day.

I hope that I learn something very, very important here. It sure would be a lot of trouble for nothing.

Oh, how I envy the Seniors.

Yeah, you may need a pretty big screen to read that last phrase. . .

So what did it say? I am very sorry that you find school such a worthless onus. I had fun at lunch today. We should go in there more often. Think Mr. Baxter will ever get around to visiting your blog?

Yes, lunch was enjoyable. I find it most interesting to listen to you and Brenden discuss things than to actually join in the conversation though. Great minds are great to listen to...

I don't think that Mr. Baxter really cares to read it that much, but I don't really care that much either, so it's all good there.

Now watch, he reads this post...

Great minds–ha. If you are going to classify me in that catergory, then by all means put yourself in it too. Remeber that Denmark-kangaroo-orange thing? :) So you never told me what the bottom line says.

I just found a picture that actually fit onto my profile, so I wanted to see if it would show up on a comment. Also, I copied your miniscule line and discovered that it reads, 'Oh how I envy the seniors.' Do you really?

@kaitlinn: I think that no matter where I was, time would still seem to crawl by. . .

@erika: Yes, I do envy the seniors. I know that my time will come...but it sure seems like a llllooooonnnnngggg time sometimes.
