i've passed my bio test, and my anthro test.... and, uhhh.. it's friday. and my grandparents bought a 2002 royal blue jeep wrangler... for my exclusive use. ^_____^ but they aren't giving it to me, just letting me drive it whenever i want. *shrugs* that's good enough for me. and i'm getting over the sewanee crud, and.. uh... i don't have any homework?

[Deviate]

just b/c it's cold and rainy doesn't have to make you blarg. uhh.. put some sublime in! that's always good....

[Deviate]

it's not the weather but the piece-o-sheite company that is driving me through the deep, dark ground.

[NekoPunk]

[Deviate]

neko-- you mentioned sewanee crud--- is that where you go to school? i grew up in chattanooga and i had a good friend who went there years and years ago....

[NekoPunk]

yup, good old university of the south. ^_^ i've noticed there's 3 responses to "i'm going to sewanee" 1. where?? 2. oh, it's nice up there! 3. i know someone who went there. *lol* what's his name? i'll go look him up. ^_^

[bealeblues]

now you can add a fourth response-- "i grew up close to there"... of course, 2 and 3 also apply to me....

i never applied there b/c 1. it was way too close to home for me (parental drop in visits) and 2. it was way to small (you can't remain anonymous).... that's why i went to memphis- way across the state and no one knew who you were unless you wanted them too....

[NekoPunk]

it ~IS~ too small, it's freaking smaller than my high school. ^_^;; and everyone you meet knows someone you know. i hate that. i'm "that girl with the flannel and the big earrings." nice, huh? that's so cool that you're from here though. how random!

Ah, the small school blues. I was getting so tired of never seeing anyone new. That's half the reason I came to Hong Kong for the semester. I sympathize with you, Neko.

Funny, just this morning I was lying awake thinking about how overcrowded my high school was (connected to a dream I had last night). Two thousand people, but everyone still remained within the confines of our own little groups, year in, year out. It was terribly easy to remain anonymous, and I did.

Later, I went to a university ten times the size- and never met more than a few people, because everyone (including myself) was commuting and had full time lives outside of school. The few school friends I've managed to hang on to after the fact were the ones from the smallish college I went to in between high school and mega-uni.

[NekoPunk]

yeah, my hs was 2200. but, i knew almost everyone. i was the kind of person that flowed easily in and out of almost every group. i had my personal 'group', but i was 'part' of quite a few. ^_^;;

[saskuoch]

My high school had 600 students. All girls. It was a scary, scary place.

[NekoPunk]

wow... i couldn't handle all that, now...

[Deviate]

had over 2000 as well, way too crowded with 11 minute passing periods (we spent more time in the halls than in class). i didn't know everyone 'cause i went to school in White Bread Suburbia and they were so damn homogenous that i didn't give a flingin' flangin' ****. (i know the board will bleep them out so i'm using them anyway.)

it seemed most people knew me, though, probably because i was so damn loud and outspoken. i kinda stood out from the crowd a bit. my senior banquet i was elected one of the elusive "most likely" awards. i didn't even go.

I don't know how many we had in our high school, but my senior class had 667 people in it and we were the "small" class.
