People: A thoroughly scientific study

I was very annoyed by people today.

It doesn't happen very often. Usually, if we've been away for awhile, I can't wait to go back to school, and see how interesting everybody is, and how life has changed. But before winter break this year, I was just ready to leave, and not come back until the next year. Everything that everybody said seemed to strike a nerve in me, my science partner was completely off task (and she's one of my best friends), US History was increasing boring, and I still had to one more bloody week. Of course, by the time January came, I was sick of being home, and sick of not doing anything except watch my brother eat and play computer games, and couldn't wait for school to come back. Once I got back, spring break couldn't come soon enough,

There are just those days, though, when you are just sick of the dumb jokes that your friends make, and just want to read a book. Maybe I didn't want to play the card future game (who would I marry this time, David Tennant or Harry Potter?), or listen to the kids across from me in science class talk throughout the whole period, or go to dance again. Every weekend, I look forward to doing nothing, and when nothing gets boring, the days go by slowly, but in a fast way, if that makes sense. It's like walking steadily on a treadmill; even if you go moderately and in a slower pace, you're always moving. And I hate Mondays with a passsion.

Sometimes, there are those days when you want your friends with you all the time, so you don't feel left out and hurt. And then you feel like you just want to scream when you can't walk a single step without your friend shadowing every step about two inches away from you, and apparently can't get to class on her own. I mean, really.  And then there's the whole walking-through-the-halls thing, when apparently (a word I seem to be using a lot) the people you are with can't walk a few steps in front or behind, and either walk backwards to face you or form a wall (which can be done with just three people) that either squishes you between the other two or causes you to hit the wall or a high schooler who's wondering why there are middle schoolers in the building in the first place.

Humans are really weird. We annoy each other so much, and blame it all on our extraordinary minds. Those little misshapen globs of gray mush that live in your head can trick you into doing anything, or thinking anything. You can feel hurt, or angry, or just happy with the world, just based on what you tell yourself, and some minds are so much more complex than others. How interesting.

Now I have to do my stupid homework. (See what I mean?)
