Actually this is a joke. I couldn't think of a real course I wanted to take in high school. My free time in class was too focused on another classmate. I guess I wish there was a class that wasn't as fast paced as calculus was when I was a senior in high school. I can't complain. After all, I would have never been in class with him, thus prolonging my reasoning for staying in high school. I hated high school.

Speaking of high school, I had a dream with another classmate from my days at H.V. Jenkins. This time, it was Nicki. We met up after 5 years and spoke how things had changed for us, both. I know I say I didn't have friends in school, which is true. I didn't have anyone I could talk and enjoy their company after 10^th grade. But Nicki, Nicole, and Logan, they seemed to be the three classmates I got along with the best. I can't help myself wondering about them to this day.

Ok, off the suject of high school now! After all, don't we all wish to forget it? Time for the Wednesday Whimsy.

1. If you could be any animal on earth what would you be? why? one of our cats. They have it easy.

2. If you could design the perfect animal what would it look like? how would it eat? how would it breath? what would you call it? You mean cats aren't perfect?

3. What, if any, animal would you like to domesticate and keep in your home? I don't know, really. Why can't their be snuggly soft porcupines! (And nowhere on the Snuggle site is anything about the porcupine!)

4. Describe a recent dream. See above or you can read about Sunday's dream.
