Thoughts On School
I sit here, and I cannot help but to think of my schedule. I'm in classes where I'm mostly surrounded by friends, people I've known a long time who I trust and spend my life with. The one class that I have no friends with is made up with the fact that a very hot girl is in there. With all this you may ask...what in the world is wrong? I will tell you. Even though I'm around people I know, it will be hard to keep in contact with the people I met last year. I mean, people who I met or just got on the brink of getting close to last year in class [most notably first period American Lit and second period Pre-Calculus] are no longer in my classes this year. I just started being friends with these people, now it's in jeapardy.

What is the solution you ask? I'm not sure. We can be like some schools and go through each grade in the same class, with the same exact people year in and year out. One good thing is you really get to know people well and the potential for life-long lasting relationships increases. The downside is it can get boring and if you don't like the people around you, then you're screwed. Also, being in the same class every year leaves no room to meet people who you would otherwise not get a chance to. This is an extreme solution that would attend to the problem before it starts, too late for my current issue.

Some of you might say to just simply keep in touch with your old acquaintances at school, like during lunch and after school. Easier said than done. School is very busy and you're inclined to stay around the same people everyday. One thing about school is that it's very routine. You go to one class, follow the same route to the next class, and you know what to expect. Also to some there is the problem of not being yourself in public. That solution is difficult. Okay so you can't keep in touch at school, what now? Howabout talking to each other online with instant messages and through the telephone. Good idea. No need to deal with the public [*hint*], or pressure from friends [*fucking hint*]. While it's great and all still being able to talk to people, it sucks not seeing them and while the idea might seem simple, it doesn't always work that way [there is one personal exception of mine, though]. So what else is there to do? Plan on going to the same college as them? Haha bologna. You can also hope to see them outside of school, like at places of work [haha I bet that will never happen again] or at the mall [haha Nick and Chester know what I'm talking about, JLo anyone? Oops wrong instance, but same place], but that's hoping for a lot.

Now that I've done some rethinking, there is nothing really to be done. I've learned that sometimes it's best not to think things out or try too hard, and let nature take its course. Not everything can be planned, and you can't always assume that something will happen, because in reality, not everything happens according to plan. The best thing you can do is take what's given to you, make the best of it and hope that everything works out fine. Whatever higher being above us will provide us with the means and we will know what to do when the situation presents itself. As for my current dilemma, I'll just have to wait and see where things go, and maybe, just maybe things between those people I met and started getting to know last year will turn into fond memories.

I must demand that a no-slam clause be included with this posting.
