School Daze...

If I close my eyes really tight and sit still for a second, I can almost feel myself walk in the bus area door. I can see and feel that same blue carpet that I walked on for ten years under my feet. I can see the wood paneling that hasn't graced those walls for a good two years.

A quick walk through the slightly dark foyer (that isn't dark anymore) with the big chandelier that I once kicked with a soccer ball by accident. Did I mention that isn't there anymore? The chandelier was removed to give way for recessed lighting to brighten up the space. A quick wave to the office ladies as I walk by their offices. I'd be seeing them soon.

A walk down the hallway that seemed to stretch on forever, waving quick hellos to everyone who passed me by, running my hand along the wood paneling that would soon be no more. Being and office aide, everyone seemed to at least recognize my face, you know, with my popping in and out of all the classes.

Walking outside to get to gym class.

The smell of the lunch room. The sound of the lunch room, a-buzz with loud and raucous chatter.

Feeling relief walking down that long hallway one last time to get to the bus to go home. Or to your car in the Senior parking lot. Waving good bye to Brother Newman at the end of the day...

Life Center Academy has changed a lot in the ten years that I was there. So many construction projects have made it what it is today. Occasionally, nostalgia takes a hold of me, and I can remember what old LCA was like. Yes, change is good. But sometimes, it's nice to take a trip down memory lane and remember what, or who, was there.

That's all for today... I'm not feeling too great, honestly. I don't even want to be on the computer (and as an internet junkie, that is a huge thing for me to say)! I've been sick off and on for the past month, getting worse feeling the past week. I have bloodwork on Monday, so hopefully that can help figure things out. It's kind of sad, I'm actually getting excited for bloodwork, even though it scares me. I just want to get better. :/ I wish there was a way that it could be done without hurting me, that's all.
