The End of the Middle

No, we will take your money and pick stuff up for you that is out of bounds. The is not in our job desription, so please don't ask us to do things like that for you. You are teenagers and a lot of freedom (and responsability) is being given to you. Benefit from it, don't abuse it by trying to make the staff your lapdog.


Okay, that's the main thing I had to vent about at the moment. The final three weeks have officially started.

Having all these new students come here is incredibly weird. I'm not sure whether to be excited about all the news kids or sad that my old ones are no longer here. It'll take them a couple of days to fall into the routine but they'll be fine. And I'll get over it. I've already talked to a handful and I'm constantly surprised by how incredibly intuitive and smart they are-- if only all their parents and the rest of the world would give them a chance. So far I've heard from a number of my girls that they constantly fight with their parents and they don't seem to feel sorry or remorseful about it. Hmm.

Seriously, it's weird as hell. I'm going to do my best to minimize my talking of past residents to these girls. They are completely different people and don't deserve to be compared to others they don't even know.

But Lord it's going to be hard, especially when three of them share the same names as the ones who just left. What are the odds?
