Wednesday

Well, we've reached the hump

Of the first week of the new school year.

How are we doing?

(Miserable already)

Anyone drop a class yet?

(Probably before the week is through)

Anyone already know they're going to fail their classes?

(Oh, yeah)

Hey now! Don't think that way!

Stay positive and I promise you, your efforts will pay off!

(Bullshit)

Greet your teacher and your classmates with a friendly smile!

(At 7:00 AM?)

Are you nodding off? Not get enough sleep last night?

(Just bored)

With Pythagoras' Theorem in front of you

The day will improve.

(Which one of us is hallucinating?)

Remember to be cool and stay in school! Don't do drugs! Don't drink and drive! Friends don't let friends drive drunk! This is your brain, and this is your brain on drugs! Smash an egg with a frying pan! No, don't cook it. Crystal Meth makes you clean your shower stall obsessively! If you smoke pot, your dog will be ashamed of you! Look in the full-length mirror on wheels that your friend brings to school in order to show you that pot is ruining your life and take a good long look in the mirror and...

(Take a deep breath)

Right.

Author's Notes:

The first week of classes were unbearable, and it got me thinking about high school and all the shit they used to spew at us. And somehow... it came out like this. I appreicate any and all feedback.
