So the other day I stayed at school for much longer than normal. Precisely two and a half hours later. Why might I do that, you may ask? Why subject yourself to more imprisonment than six hours a day? Isn't it the first day back at school after the holidays? Wow, keener alert.
No, my friend, that is where you would be incorrect. Well actually, I'm not that keen on school, but one thing I do enjoy is learning. Particularly when I actually understand it. The other times I just sit in my desk and stare at the clock, but I've come to realize that the more I want the class to be over, the more my eyes are magnetized to the ever-steady-slowly-ticking clock that does not want me to leave its sight. And god, it is annoying as hell.
Yesterday, during my english literature class I was starting to doze off, whilst my teacher babbled on about 'Paradise Lost'. My eyes had been long glazed over, and while I was writing a character sketch for Satan for this story (this was not my idea of fun, by the way, I'm not a satanist, okay?) I started mindlessly writing numbers in the margin, and let me tell you, it was honestly the funniest thing ever after I realized what I had been doing.
I literally tuned my entire class out for around twenty minutes, and since I was sitting in the front row and clearly not paying attention, my teacher slowly looked over at me and asked if I was writing in morse code. Poor guy. I almost wanted to tell him I was summoning Satan. Ha, funny me. But not. I go to a Christian school, so things like that wouldn't go down well. He would pretty much cast me out of his classroom and demand the teachers to band together to perform an exorcism on me. NO. NOT OKAY SCHOOL. NOT OKAY.
So anyways, I just awkwardly smiled at him and told him that I was bored, wait no, of course not bored in your class... Just tired. Keeping myself awake. By summoning Satan. But really, if anyone in the world saw my sheet of paper that day I swear to god they would be 100% certain that I was attempting to perform demonic rituals on my piece of 8.5 by 11.
In the centre of the paper, I had the word "SATAN" circled, and there were lines coming out of it with character traits of him, some of which were blatantly obvious like "bad" and "liar." Yes, I have a twelfth grade vocabulary. Going all the way up the side of the page were scribbled numbers going up to around 370... Yep, they should pretty much just expel me now.
