So this week's edition of the Harper Rants About Nothing show is gonna focus on something a little unusual. Our teachers have decided to let loose the reins and let our "creative spirits soar." Nobody really said that. I just threw it in for effect. But anyway, I haven't been to school in a week, and I'm not gonna talk about why because I already made the mistake of telling a few people, who told some more people, and now pretty much the entire cap program knows about the inner workings of my personal problems.
I haven't always been the attention-seeking, spotlight-hogging, "does not play well with others" type, I think I grew into it. Which doesn't really make sense, seeing as I'm the oldest of 3 and spend most of my life teaching and caring for kids as little as 5 months old. I have no problem interacting with kids who are younger then me, probably because I like a sense of authority. But when it comes to people my own age, geeeeez things get out of hand. Everyone's always telling me how I'm such a social, people-person, but in reality, I think that's becoming less and less accurate. I like people, I like being around them and interacting with them and spending time with the people I enjoy. But the two ends of my I-enjoy-your-company spectrum are worlds and worlds apart. There are some people that I love, and there are some people that no matter how hard I try to like them, I can't stand being around them. I probably have the same effect on some people, it's a natural part of life. But I think I need to work on being more accepting and open to people.
This post really didn't end up being much except a very intense personal reflection. But hey. Whatever.
Here's a cute cat:
