Explain to me when it was that I was forced to suddenly grow up. Why the hell am I looking at my first summer after my first year in school with dread? I don't get it.
Also, why is it when I say that I work at Walgreens people get this disgusted look on their face? It pays - that's all I'm really concerned with right now. I don't plan on working there the rest of my life, which is what I think everyone else thinks when they hear of it. The best was having to answer all the damn questions for the first month or so. "Why are you working THERE?" Oh gee, I thought it would offer me great networking possibilities and I find standing on my feet for 8 hours at a time a thrill. I have to work, why do people look down on that? I have to pay bills for school for the rest of my life, I need to start saving now so that I might get a head start.
On another note, I find myself not fitting in. Where I once thought I belonged, I feel awkward. I think over the past few months I've developed my own voice - one which some are not accustomed to hearing. I think the people I hang around with are used to just talking over me, but now I feel that it doesn't work anymore. Some seem to listen, others seem a little taken back. It's nothing obvious, just subtle things I've come to know.
Eh, whatever, I'm not too concerned about anything really, I'll just let it all go by. Farewell all.
P.S. I'm thinking of having this as my main name instead of the lyonesse one. Thoughts?
