The Burdens of Being Upright

"Summer school be from July 1 until July 26."
(from the Bowie High School Newsletter)

let me start off by telling you about wednesday. me and kevin went and picked up angie. we went to the student union for the show but we get there and the doors are locked and its dark inside. we walk around for a few minutes and find matt and paul. then we notice that there's another door on the other side of the building with a sign saying that the show was moved. so we make the long (2 minute) drive to a house in hyattsville where the show is. it was a fun show. i guess i cant really say that since i didnt spend much time watching the bands. but i wasnt in the mood for a crowded sweaty basement, but it was a fun night. erin and katie came after pat's graduation. i wanted to go to it but i had no way of getting there :-( matt took me home and i went to sleep. but i probably got online first, i dont know.
thursday night i went to the wmuc station to see time out of line play. fun times. not the greatest show they've ever played but i still enjoyed it. i dont know, i think the crowd was too old to appreciate the music. i just liked getting to see my friends.
today i went to school. i hate waking up at 6:20 every morning, but at least i only have to do it 7 more times! i thought today was supposed to be cooler so i wore pants. bad idea. it's scorching hot outside and i was miserable all day. 2nd and 6th pd. (my only two classes with air conditioning) werent too bad but the rest were horrible. lunch was the worst. so many people crammed into a hot, sweaty, smelly cafeteria with nothing but two fans. i saw one of the kids that was at freestate on friday in school today. it was the really short one that was starting the most shit. i've never seen him at school before but apparently he's 17 instead of 12 as we all had thought. oh and erin or katie told me that all those kids were on PCP at the time they were yelling at us. *sigh* poor bowie kids. its sad but bowie's drug scene is growing. i cant say i'm surprised though. you mix a bunch of white suburban kids with boredom and you get drug addictions. i dont know what else i'm doing today or tomorrow. i'm thinking i want to go to dc tomorrow and just "dick around" (katie and erin will appreciate that). anyone want to come?
