For me, school has started already. The early start is just compensating for our early release which was at the end of May, so I can't complain too much. It's certainly refreshing to be back but that's just because it's the first day. Of course, I'd rather just spend my days doing nothing like I did all summer but I need to go to school. The freshmen are so tiny & cute that I just want to pinch their cheeks. Some are even shorter than me which is surprising since I'm 5'0" maybe even 4'11". They all look pretty fresh-faced, confused, & bewildered. I've only come across two Sceney McScenesters which is good because we have plenty of Sceney McScenester juniors.
There was this one girl that was looking for room 308 & she was pretty frantic & I told her it should be downstairs at the end but she said it ended at 306 so I told her to try the rooms at the back row (kinda hard to explain). I'm sorry I couldn't help her more but I was already late to my own class but I was excused since there was a sign on the door that said the class was moved to 206. I still feel bad for that poor girl, but I'm sure she was fine because it's not like they give you a tour of the whole school & tell you where everything is, so she can't be blamed. Anyway, all-in-all, a pretty good return to school since it was just a whole bunch of teachers talking about their syllabuses & what-not.
However, I do admit that I'm a little disappointed in the new crop of students because none of them look intriguing enough to strike up a good conversation with. Not that many freshmen do, but I mean, I was interesting enough for seniors to talk to me when I was a freshman. In fact, none of the kids in school seem worthy of an attempt to befriend them. Seniors are boring; juniors are just trying so devastatingly hard to look "scene"; sophomores, well, they're there; & with the freshmen, I'll see if any interesting ones turn up. Yes, I know that three semicolons in a sentence just does not work. Meh, I'll see what tomorrow brings.
