Today was my official last day of school. I took the English exam. My chemistry teacher was proctoring- the one who I like but find terrifying. When we walked in she said hi to me and I felt special. We took the exam, which was easy and boring. Then we sat for two hours doing nothing but sleeping. I can't sleep in public places so I usually write lists on the cover sheet they give you. Some of the lists include Possible Topics for Research: schizophrenia in children, schizophrenic hallucinations, quantum physics, primitive religion and its origins; a boring to-do list for summer, Things That Might Be Fun: Visit Snow Camp (an activity which I will be completing tomorrow); a list of all the nouns in the first story on the test, Things That I Learned Today: I am not a person who can fall asleep in public places, I am not a person who can entertain themselves using only their imaginations, High-fives are not allowed during standardized testing; Favorite [Chemistry teacher]-isms: "Madison, close your mouth. You are not a bear," and, "If I am a pedophile...". Later, the lists devolved into me marking the time every 5 minutes, drawing a flowchart of all the orders of matter from strings to the universe, and attempting to draw a sailboat by filling in the bubbles of the answer sheet. I included inside the body of the sailboat a brief paragraph about how once my cousin who is dead did this on a standardized test sheet. I thought it was an odd thing to say at a funeral. Anyway, the point of this is that my Chemistry teacher collected the sheets which were mostly blank or covered in vapid doodles. She sat at the front of the class and went through them until she got to mine. Recognizing my handwriting, she stops and looks up at me. She proceeds to read the sheet, glancing up at me every so often. I think she likes me more now.
Then my best friend and I went to a pizza place. Peter and I have rescheduled our bookclub for today at three in the morning. I'm already bored out of my mind and it hasn't even been twenty-four hours since my break. Deliver us from normal.
