sweatdrop Today i went to an orientation for the students that will be new to our school next year and made some interesting observations. One thing to note is the group of students and parents were divided into three groups based on last name and then were supposed to go to three stations. I was part of a panel of students there to answer questions. As I sat in my chair and stared out at the people I couldn't help to notice how the groups looked. Many of the girls were wearing skimpy shorts and way too much makeup. I love makeup but when your cheeks are reder than your lips there's somehting wrong... Then i noticed the first group just laughed along with us when we made jokes, the second was just laughing all the way through, but the third group didn't laugh at all. It bugged me just the way we were trying to be funny, they could at least pitty us. The third group was also the smallest, but strangly the most clicky. In one corner was a group of peopl and in the back was a group of boys that just sat there. I wondered where there parents were. But then i saw one boy. He was sitting all by himself in the bleachers. It kind of broke my heart. I can't stand to see people being alone, at least when it isn't by choice. Since I new this kid though I didn't seem to be as heartbroken. Now why are people, and me so cruel. I knew this kid enough to know I don't want to talk to him, i don't want to sit by him. Yet i just can't stand it when people act like that. It's so hypocritical of me. It could be that he reminds me of the way i was when i was younger, and i want to forget those years. But anyway what made me really depressed in this whole thing was talking about the activities offered at the school. People kept saying "There are so many activities" when really, everything is going to be cut. *man i drifted off subject, time to get back* People vote against things as soon as they hear the word TAX, but they don't think of how much the tax is or it's impact. Stupid voting didn't pass the levy and now almost every non-sport activity is cut. Now at first that just sounds like kids now have less to do, but think of the impact. What are they going to put on there college applications. How will they meet new friends. It's not like this is a small school and you can meet everyone in a year. I don't and never will know everyone at my school. I guess they will just be screwed for the future. oh and sorry if this is hard to read. It's my first entry, i'll get it down soon biggrin
