LAB

I woke up this morning around the time I had been getting home the past few days, in order to go in to my old high school with my sister for her last day. It is still so early, I can't believe it.

I sat in on Spanish class, where they were just watching class videos, but they were amusing. There were some that were made with the teachers too, which were awesome because I got to see my old teachers being silly. After that we went to the cafeteria for "Senior Tea", which was all sorts of very sweet things and some tasty lemon tea. I sat at a table with my sister and her friends, and at one point one of the teachers motioned for me to get up. I thought maybe I was in the way of her picture or she wanted to talk to me or something, but she had a "I've found you out" look that meant I had to leave. I was a little confused until Alice said "That's my sister", and it turned out that the teacher had thought that I was a tenth-grader trying to sneak in! Besides that I'm a year away from graduating from college.....

I got to say hi to a few teachers, who were alternately confusing me with my sister, being surprised to see someone so old and being surprised that they weren't surprised, that it felt like they always saw me in that building. I guess my apparent age is supremely subjective? (For anyone who cares, I saw Ms Weinstein, Ms Dillon, Ms Valentin, Ms Decastro, and Mr Marlowe, who taught me math in 6th grade, my first year at LAB middle school!). It was mostly just strange to be back in that building. I can see becoming a teacher, but it would be pretty scary to have to be there again.
