So. I am experiencing a feeling I've never felt before.
Right now I have a really bad cold. The kind that make you feel like total crap. Anyway, today I stayed home from school. And, usually when I'm sick and have to stay home I couldn't be happier. Nothing is better than sleeping in and watching an old movie in bed while eating a fried egg and toast (that is what I did today). But, today I found myself MISSING SCHOOL! Like, I'd rather be at school than at home lounging in bed. This has never happened to me before.
I think I may know the reason. I get along with EVERY SINGLE PERSON in my class. Honestly, it's the strangest thing. We all get along soo well. It's like I've known all these people for ages. I finally feel like I've made some friends that really get me.
Up until now, I haven't really had many close friends, sadly. Sure I have some good friends, but I don't have sex and the city friends. (I always compare friendships to that of the friendships from sex and the city). I don't have a group of friends that i spend all my time with, who know me inside and out. Friends who I feel really really KNOW me. I wish I had friends like that.
But, I think that now I may make some sex and the city friends. The school I go to is for people with learning disabilities. The founder of the school created a program that strengthens the weak areas of the brain, so that your ld's go away, or are decreased. Everyone at the school has an ld, which makes the school a very understanding environment. It also makes for many similiar minded people. At my old school I was called 'stupid' because I was bad with the subway, but here everyone shares the frustration of not being good at getting around, because none of us are good at it.
It's so surreal to think that in a few short years I might be a totally different person, with less or no ld's. I'll be able to do math well, I'll be able to explain myself better, I won't have to doubt everything that comes out of my mouth, and I won't have troubles with getting around the city. It is going to be a completely life changing experience; and I'm making great friends who are all going through the exact same thing. It's all soo exciting. And, THAT'S why I'd rather be at school than stuck at home with a cold.
Oh, and by the way, Happy Rosh Hashanah(It's the Jewish New Year)...I hope everyone has eaten their apples and honey. I know I have. Time for this sick girl to get some rest.
friendship,
school
