eve 6 - open road song

just after we'd gotten back from lunch in our marketing class, everyone started to smell something burning. like an electrical fire. after a while of complaining about it with no one listening, we stood up and started looking around for the source. chris, this giant football player, stood on the desks under a vent and sniffed... it was coming from the vents. finally our teacher realized we weren't just being stupid highschoolers, and she called the fire department. we got kicked out of the classroom for a little while, but then she made us come back in to work in the store. the fire fighters walked through the school in full gear to check it out, then they left again. not a thing was said about it. no one besides the principal and a few other key authorities were notified. it was dumb! what's the point in them constantly repeating fire drills so that we'll know what to do when there's a fire, when the one time there actually is a fire, they don't even get the students out of the classroom it's burning over.
other than that... i'm extremely satisfied with my life these days. well, moderately satisfied. i feel a lot better about myself. i was talking to kevin today during lunch, and he was telling me about how he had the biggest crush on me in seventh and eighth grade. i'm glad he told me this. after all, i've always thought of those years as "the ugly years". i'd show you a picture to demonstrate why, except i've gotten rid of every picture taken of me from that time. it's just... well, nice, to know that someone could still see something interesting about me during a time that i was convinced the entire world found me undesireable.
i just tried on a few bathing suits that i've got in my closet. ugh, i really don't want to put myself through the whole bathing suit thing. but there's an employee party on friday, and if i go (which i probably will), i'm going to want to go swimming. i haven't done that since... mexico. so, i'll probably go. free food and swimming, and i get paid for it, too.
six days. just six more days....
