I went back to high school today. It was definitely an interesting experience for me. I subbed as an aide and her job is to go to these classes and take notes and fill in worksheets so later they can help the kids in the resource room with homework if need be. It has been 20 some odd years since I took notes in school of any kind. Biology wasn’t to bad I was familiar with it enough to understand what was going on. English wasn’t to bad either because they were watching a movie the down side is it was interesting and I wanted to see it all. Law was gruesome because they were learning about defending a person with an insanity plea. So they used cases like John Gacy, Jeffrey Dalmer, & Charles Manson. Creepy. Chemistry was way beyond my skills and I just hope I wrote down the answers correctly and don’t screw anybody up. But my favorite class was the economics class. The teacher looked like Jerry Garsia from the Grateful Dead. He was laid back and had funny stories to tell. Good thing because the subject matter was rather boring.

Some one told me that if I were to go back to school my perspective would be totally different and it would be a completely different experience. I believe them now. I would definitely have to work on my note taking skills and such but I think if I can find the time and money I might just get my feet wet.

But for now my brain hurts and I am pooped I am not 17 anymore. Hey no cracks from the peanut gallery.

And the major humor for the day was the cartoon on the podium I was sitting in front of. I almost fell out of my chair laughing.
It was a picture of a kitten being chased by these monster type things and under it it said: “Every time you vote republican god kills a kitten, think of the kittens”.
