Blog Every Day August: 8/31

I spent twelve hours at school today. Six hours of this was work. Now I lie on ye old love seat, wrapped in a blanket and letting British comedy wash over me. I ate food and now my stomach hurts.

I'm surprised I am somehow still quite alive after twelve hours of school work school ahhness. You'll never guess who came into the library today after school and hung around for way more time than I would have appreciated. It was fun. I really am trying not to care, but I just get so angry and stuff. Breathing becomes difficult and an absolute necessity.

This evening it was one of the librarians and I in the library. The head librarian/my boss left soon after school ended, and the two others around then as well, but I was left work to do and the majority of it could be done while in a seated position... which makes all the difference. I have a desk area. And wire mesh file holders and STUFF. There is also a laptop I can use, though I haven't done so yet, and I have a cabinet drawer where I can leave my bag. Things have been crazy busy, and I don't yet know how to do everything, but it is all so exciting. Nerd tendencies = score. The librarian I was with tonight is nice and doesn't make me feel nervous. Friendly. All of the staff are nice, but that nervousness is what gets to me.

But I was there for six hours on top of my school day and it was long and things. My eyes started to burn. I am allowed to take a break and eat something on long nights, though, which ought to prove a help.

Blog Every Day August has been wonderful. The fact that it is ending saddens me. Even if I continue blogging, part of the fun is sharing the experience with others, and I will miss that. So. Keep blogging, friends! I will catch up on your lovely blogs on a day when I haven't been out of the hour twelve hours ahh. Soon!

In all classes we have to write a "social contract" together, compiling words involving several questions to form a list of adjectives we should strive to embody. I will leave you with my own personal contract, scrawled on a piece of ruled paper I was "decorating" as we discussed.

1. Don't kill people.
2. Always be a ninja.
3. Glitter is always the answer.
4. Look to the rainbows!

Assorted quotes from my day also include:

Math teacher: "That's like the second largest chocolate bar I ever saw."

"Don't die in math class. If you have to go die do it in science, that's a science thing."

Male peer: "I care about my hair. I love it, it's so soft. That's what happens when you shampoo your hair twice a day, yo."

English teacher: "Interjections are [explanation], like 'Wow!' or 'Oh, peanut butter!"

I could tell you stories, interland, but I am tired and my words are not fitting together as I would like them to. I will be back, but: thank you for taking this journey with me, friends. Thank you ever so.
