It was finally Monday, aka the worst day of the week. What's that saying? 'Eat the frog'? Yeah I think I'll pass on that for any foreseeable Mondays.
You see Mondays would be fine if it wasn't the day that follows the most relaxing day of the week. Or as I like to call it, prep day. I do all my homework when it's due, and the other assignments like duel enrollment on Saturdays, which conveniently leaves all of Sunday available to relax and prep for the following week.
There is something so therapeutic and relaxing about having everything you need for the week ready to go the day before it starts. I wash my clothes (uniforms), pick my outfits (uniforms), and get my backpack organized (also uniform).
Well now that I think about it, public school had more freedom clothing wise, but at least now I have less laundry?
I had about five minutes before the bus got to my apartment complex, so on that note I grabbed my bag and an apple, headed out the door with a 'bye' to my sleeping dad.
The weather was nice today, a slight breeze brushing against my sweatshirt clad self while the sun waited for its cue to fully rise.
The bus pulls up with a piercing screech and I toss my apple core into the bin. I greet Doris with a small wave, she smiles back crookedly with a grin.
Bus driving doesn't pay nearly as much as it should. I would definitely crash my first day, I have no faith in my big vehicle driving skills.
My mind drifts to my to-do list for the day as it always does first chance I get. I like to be organized and planned out for my day, leaving no room for chance or last minute surprises.
I got an email from the school saying there was an issue with some of the transfer paper work so I would have to go into the advisors office to get that checked out.
Other than the meeting before lunch, I didn't have much else going on today. That leaves me more room to see what Leia and possibly everyone else was up to.
I knew we patched things up after the party, but Xavier still made me nervous. Despite Leia's reassurance, I still didn't fully believe him when he said everything was cool after I projectile vomited on him.
I winced, the taste of alcohol strong in my memory as it went down and then right back up. Never again.
The familiar sight of the Academy's brick clad towers loomed ahead, giving off that typical ominous feeling I got every morning. I'm not saying it's Nevermore Academy, but it sure feels like it sometimes.
I got out, waving to Doris before I trekked to the front gates. If this school wasn't my one way ticket into a solid career path, I wouldn't have chosen it.
I have a passion for medical studies but I'm also really into computer programing and aerospace. I plan on narrowing it down soon due to the vast differences in those fields. Hey maybe I'll do all three. Although it sounds actually insane, it's something I could see myself doing.
I hate on these preppy kids a lot but deep down I just want to be able to provide for myself the way their parents do for them. I would buy my dad his own house and then move into a pent house apartment or even better, a castle.
I bet I could buy a castle, I see them for sale over in Ireland and Scotland all the time. How cool would that be, I'd be living my princess fantasies in real time.
I can see it now, living it up in a castle with all the fancy shit, spending money like its TP.
"Auri?"
Yeah that'd be nice but obviously if I had that much money I would give it to a cause I care about. It would be selfish of me to keep it when I don't need it.
