Love Bug

Time is always moving. Sometimes we absorb or utilize some of it through sleep, meditation, studying or things like that. And other times time moves past us with or without us knowing. Sometimes I wonder… where does time go? When it is not converted into memories or recorded through song, word or some type of media. This last week I am wondering where a majority of my time has went to. ¾ of my last week has nothing to show for it. I received homework, I turned homework, I did sufficient on my homework and by the end of the term when I no longer have to retain any of the knowledge relating to Medieval to Modern World History or Housing and Interior Designs, the knowledge will slowly slip from my head. I want retainable usable knowledge.

Don’t get me wrong I love learning. But I just seem to have a problem with our school system as well. So I was on my thirty five minute lunch “break” at school, standing in line with and endless line of other students in front and behind me. As I am waiting for our very simple school lunch I wonder, how long have I actually been standing in this line of people with same intent as me? You see the only clock semi visible to me is one directly behind me and of course I cannot view this so said clock because there is a line of people blocking my view of the only clock around. Frustrating, right? Well another thing you must know to understand this story is from 9:00 to 3:30 at our HS you are unable to use your cell phone, no matter what the circumstances are. Aware of this rule I bring out my cell phone which is in my front jean pockets, merely to check the time. As soon as I have it fully out of my pocket a “Safety Specialist” jogs towards me, somehow spotting my phone and confiscates it from me. Really!?!?! I was just checking the time and really, this man “Joe” has nothing better to be doing with his time then scanning the lunch lines for people pulling out their cell phones to check the time.

This whole ordeal wasn’t that horrendous because I received my phone at the end of the school day from the office. I guess I just feel that when I am at lunch, the time of the day that I am really not disturbing anyone, I should be able to check my phone for the time.

I want to be apart of something amazing, that treats me like a young adult with personal opinions and views as a human being.
