I Talk to a Backpack

Lord, how time flies!  Guess what?  It snowed on Halloween...and its 70 degrees outside right now.  Happy Christmas everyone.  Today I wasn't feeling good so I slipped on my stretch pants and flip flops and went to school (thank you God for the beautiful weather).  I hardly studied for my Spanish map quiz but I aced it anyway, lolz :)

Robert was also tired today, but that is nothing new.  During class, I couldn't seem to keep my eyes open.  FYI - I got 5 hours of sleep last night trying to finish my homework.  Anyway, I kept falling asleep while Mrs. Garay was talking and found it hard to concentrate.  I constantly shifted positions and finally just put my head down on the table in exhaustion.  I felt a jolt from the table and turned my head the other way.  A big black backpack was right where Robert's head should have been.  He had apparently collapsed onto the table, disappearing behind his backpack.  I began to speak...

Me: "I seem to be talking to a backpack."

Backpack: "Yes, hello."

Me: "How are you doing today?"

Backpack: "I'm good, very tired actually."

Me: "That makes sense, seeing as how you're not moving.  You must be exhausted."

Backpack: (laughter) "I am."

Mrs. Garay: "Are you guys getting this?"

Backpack: "Yep..."

Me: "Uh huh."

I've never spoken to a backpack before.  It was interesting.  Anyway, I didn't feel like leaving the Edwards Room during lunch, so I stayed in there.  I borrowed money from Analisa and bought myself some doritos.  I hung around Kiera and talked with Liam a little bit.  Then, I went into Mrs. Lynch's class room to ask her a question, but she was in the middle of a conversation with Mrs. Mayo.  10 minutes later, Meghan Perdue said something that answered my question.  Funny how we waste time when we don't think we're wasting it huh?

After lunch I went to SAT Prep.  Then I went to American Literature.  I really like Ally Loftness, my teacher.  She's very relaxed, but knows how to get her students' attention.  After all my classes I saw Matt coming down the hallway!!!!!!  I was soooooooo worried about him when I heard about the car accident.  A couple days ago, a drunk driver hit Mrs. Harman, him, Liam, and Tasia at an intersection.  By God's grace they all survived!!!!!!!!!

Then I went home.  And I posted on my blog.  Which is right now.  Hi.

Welcome to my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  It's quite thrilling.  (Who got the Esther quote???)  Yet even when my life isn't as exciting as I would like it to be, I know that the Lord is with me.  For me, monotonous daily life can be a trial.  The Joy I seek is found in Christ and Christ alone :D :D :D
