Well, I’ve had this Tumblr thing for a while now actually and I haven’t posted a single thing yet. I really pretty much just made this whole thing to follow my friend Jo, since it turns out you need one to stalk people, that’s a bummer. Secretly though, I wish my blog thing here could be as good as hers. She says some really deep stuff on it, I honestly wish I could be as cool as hers.
Anyway though, I know nobody’s going to read this, so I’m just going to say some stuff and act like it.
I go to a “Smart School” called the International Academy, or IA as most sane people call it, but looking at me and hearing me talk I’m sure I could fool you. I don’t act smart or radiate smartness from the way I talk, nor do I have amazing test scores and program new cures for cancer in my sleep, I’m just an average kid with a GPA that *cough* doesn’t really need to be shared.
Although this whole International Academy thing sounds all fancy and expensive and all that jazz, it’s basically in the basement of Lakeland High School (Bakeland). Bakeland? You ask. Why? Because it’s exactly that a Bake Land.
Let me paint you a picture:
I’m sitting in my body toning class, chalk-full of pot-smoking brain-deads. I end up sitting on a bench right in between two seniors and when I say right in between, I mean right in between, like they’re talking around me.
Senior 1: Hey man you missed the party!
Senior 2: Yeah, I wish I was there, I was hanging out with Bill.
Senior 1: Yeah you should’a been there, we had like three bongs, a *insert name of pot-smoking device here* and like two bags of weed! Why didn’t you just bring Bill?!
Senior 2: He didn’t wanna’ go anywhere man, he’s such a closet smoker!
Senior 1: Aww, he is a closet smoker!
This is pretty much a scene that could be easily witnessed anywhere in Lakeland. It’s not even like they’re secretive about it. I’ve hear of kids actually asking the teachers if they could go out and smoke, and if they’d like to join them.
I have a class that’s an IA class, but it’s in a Lakeland hallway. The one guys bathroom around that area is always locked, know why? Because kids were getting tired of walking by it to inhale joint smoke everyday.
Writing this inspired me to look up “Lakeland High School” on Urban Dictionary. Let’s get an exact quote in here shall we.
Lakeland High School
All the bathrooms smell horrible because people use them to smoke pot. Theres someone in every class that either sells drugs or can give you a phone number to call someone who sells drugs. The girls are cliquey. The guys are douche-bags. International Academy people downstairs think they are better than everyone else just because they’re in a smarter school. (That’s me!)
The only good thing about Lakeland is… oh wait. There isn’t one.
Typical lakeland high school.
See, even UrbanDictionary agrees. I knew I could count on you.
The only thing I like about Lakeland really is the sports, I’m either in them or my friends are in them and I can cheer my heart out for them. But I’ll get into that at a later post.
So…Yeah…Rambling.
