So I spent the past two weeks working at a high school down in
Englewood, Florida. It was a nice time and with this experience I made
a few observations.
-high school kids are pretty much the same as when I was in high school despite the ipods, cell phones, and the internet
-i still dress like I'm in high school
-i'm older than some of the teachers
-it takes a special kind of person to work in a high school
-i am not that special kind of person
-i'm still not cool
-i'm cool with not being cool
-you learn a lot of useless stuff in high school
-learning a lot of useless stuff can help you figure out what is important to you
-my high school self is a lot more booksmart than my adult self
-my adult self is a lot more street smart and common sense smart than my high school self
-i thought I was really smart when I was in high school
-i realize that I'm not that smart
-im still trying to figure out a lot of the same stuff I didn't figure out when I was in high school
-spending two weeks in a high school has helped me to figure out some of that stuff
-i'm a lot more grown up around young people than I am around my friends
-i still have a lot of growing up to do
-why do young people want to be older and old people want to be younger
-i don't feel much older than these high school kids
-i am much older than high school kids
-$5 at the arcade goes a long way
-$5 at the arcade doesn't go as far as it used to
-going to the library with friends to work on your report is fun
-chatting with friends online while Googling info for your report is not as fun
-the internet has a lot more info than the library and you don't need a ride home from it when you're done
-kids still cheat on tests by writing answers on their hands
-kids can be so dramatic -adults can be so dramatic
-i wish I did more "stuff" when I was in high school
Sporadic rainfall in Florida. Catches you off guard like a broken lock on the restroom door at the Indian restaurant.
Sweatin' to the oldies
