As I drove home with my father back home through the heat wave that hasn't occurred for 50+ years, we got on the subject of highschool. Maybe it was the insane heat, but I got me to thinking about that place *shudders* The highschool stereotypes had created a shroud over my middle school soul and I became nervous. I went to a small catholic school in which there was only 55 classmates in the 8th grade. A small community, but we were like family there. Now I'm starting all over again, just like I did in Kindergarten, when I was a timid, shy and gentle lamb that nearly snapped the jumbo crayola crayons over the thought of leaving the safe haven known as my house. Now I'm (sorta) leaving the nest. Going to learn how to drive, drink coffee (okay never mind, scratch that idea) and maybe do some traveling during that period of time.
It seems that education is a big stepping stone for everybody nowadays. Or even it's something that begins to etch out a small fragment of the huge web known as life. Stay with parents, go to school, get a job, retire, die. It seems to planned and uneventful. I'm not saying that there is no joys or bumps along the road, but it seems like that is the basic sketch of many peoples lives. So that is why I'm beginning of the blog. I wrote a living list. Something that I can live for and achieve. It's not stuff I want to do before I die, but stuff I want to do while I'm living (it's less depressing that way) and I'm going to show you the thrills of living.
