oddities of this town and these people i know
today was an interesting day...
i sent out all of my graduation announcements early this morning. 37 of them! wowzas. that's a lot!
i can't believe my last day of school is this friday. high school has gone by so fast. it feels like just yesterday i was wishing i could be done, and i almost am, in three and a half days, actually! wow. it feels kinda strange.
of course everyone is partying but i told my friends this girl isn't. i said i'd would come to hang out and to mix, but that wasn't what they wanted to hear. they are insisting i get wasted because, supposedly, i'm "hilarious when i'm drunk."
i replied that i decided to stop drinking after almost falling off a balcony the last time, and they replied,
"we don't have a balcony, you can't fall off of it. so, it's cool."
i relied, "i'm trying to be a good Christian now. i have to do better. i'm really trying."
"you can be a Christian on saturday. on friday you can drink."
i shout out hilariously, "WHAT IF JESUS COMES BACK ON FRIDAY?"
"then he'll get to see me having a lot of fun."
minutes pass and someone else is trying to convince me to come to their party. i turn back to my friends who are in the middle of conversation,
"friday is going to be so much fun."
i shout out loud enough for the class to hear, "NO IT'S NOT, WE'RE GOING TO READ OUR BIBLES!!!"
the class bursts out in laughter, as i realized what i had said.
this was in government, which by the way, is the class that claps whenever an office aid walks in the class, completely intimidating them.
the kids in the class are crazy, as in CRAZY crazy, our teacher is hilarious, its awesome.
this is what she told us regarding out class,
"you guys are known as the lazy class, which isn't that bad. atleast you are not the criminal class like three years ago (three years ago, on the senior's last day of school, the graduating class stampeded the halls ripping sinks and water fountains off of the walls, broke a window, a door, and got into two major pile-ups on the way to their senior picnic, which is really sad considering the park it was held at is just a mile and a half a way.)
"you are good kids, just not big-achievers, you're not very motivated."
a kid speaks up, regarding the location of our class' senior picnic which had to be relocated from the park we usually have it at, the one a mile away, to a further location because our biggest rival school reserved it. and yes, we do plan on getting revenge, considering it was our park. water balloons and plans of stealing their food,
"we're still going to water-balloon mountain view."
"no, you're not, you're the lazy class, remember. you guys say you will, but you'll be too lazy to actually do it"
yeah, probably.
