Thoughtful Thursday



I'm sitting here, staring at my computer screen. There's only 3 or 4 lessons left in most of my subjects. I'm nearly done 9th grade. I'm nearly a sophmore. The teen paper that I write for already lists me as one. Soon, I'll be dating and driving and doing AP courses to prepare for college. Then I'll actually be in college. The world is so big and bright right now and I want to spread my wings but..


I'm scared. So I think I'll go watch a cartoon Princess movie with my family and forget about all that. There's always tomorrow, eh?

Q&A With the Perfect Stranger In Line Behind Me at Starbucks Who's Staring at Me Like I'm Some Kind of Alien


(Inspired by a post on Writer's Block)


Q&A With the Perfect Stranger In Line Behind Me at Starbucks Who's Staring at Me Like I'm Some Kind of Alien: 

Me: Um.. Hi?
Stranger: Why aren't you in school, young lady?
Me: Uh... (Can't you figure it out?) I'm cyberschooled.
Stranger: *Narrows eyes to a sort of glare.* You mean homeschooled.
Me: No, its not the same as homeschooling.
Stranger: So you spend all your life staring at a computer in your pjs.
Me: Um.. no. I'm not a mindless, pajama-wearing drone.
Stranger: *Looks confused and frustrated.* Well, don't you miss public school?
Me: How could I miss public school when only been to one day, and that was like a field trip to see what the other side does?
Stranger: *Glares and looks away.*
Me: *Sighs.* Uh...
Stranger: You'll obviously lack the social skills needed for the real world.
Me: AM I NOT POLITE AND RESPECTFUL?  Well, if that's what you think...

(Yikes. Just a snapshot of my world.)
