School.

Actually started to kind of miss it.

I see friends of mine who are still attending school (not college, mind you) and I think about how they're lucky.

And then I also start to think about how many adults told me the same thing, and wished they could do school all over again (then again, I think they're the ones that dropped out... :P)

School is a blessing, yet a curse. You have your early wake-up calls, the jack asses that make your day from bad to worse, and at the same time, you have to concentrate of a lot of pointless bullshit that supposedly helps you get through life. I'll fork over five dollars for every item in school that I literally thought pointless that I have yet to use (I could give you a long-ass line of Geometry examples...)

If I could restart school however, I would start with seventh grade. You start off with a real clean slate. The only ones who know you are the ones you went to elementry school with (this is actually a key thing, if not many people you know of went to the same elementary school as you. :P) With the shit I've tolerated, dealt with, and learned throughout these past four years of God-forbidding high school, I think I really wouldn't mind going back to middle school. Seriously. As much as I hate Math, I'm sure I could review the shit I had to learn in middle school and manage to pass with A's for two years. Sigh. Anything but Geometry. I wouldn't want to wish it on my worst enemy... :P

One of the primary things about school I miss is the lunch, though. Vance may not have had uber lunches, but their fries kicked ass and you got a shit-load of 'em. THS food owned (but also seemed to have an effect on me. I realized that I lost weight after graduating... :\) Let's face it. School lunches ROCK.

And another thing.

A lot, if not all, teachers/adults will tell you "school is not for social hour." That's complete and utter bullshittery. School is meant to be one, whole, ginormous eight-hour day of being social, whether it be with friends or faculty. I'd say 83.7% friends, however. There were actually times in school that I would look forward to seeing my friends. That's the best thing about high school... you weren't stuck at a computer all day, and you had a variety of people to be with and see.

Sigh.

Field day. :P

I guess graduation was (just a little bit) disappointing for me - I won't get to see the same friends as often as I used to, and eventually, it will be a couple of years till we literally see each other again by running into each other at a Food City; and rather than having it a joke about "wow, you lost weight!" or "I haven't seen you in too many damn years!", it'll be literal. As I would use to joke about that in school a lot. :P 

I hope I don't have to wait too long to get my Chrono Cross back from fucking Brian, though. >:| I want that game back!!
