Friends

There is a part of my day, school day that is, that I look forward to everyday. It's a little 40-minute period in between the 3rd and 4th classes of the day. At this portion of the day I get to see most of my friends.

We all sit in the 'fishbowl' and no matter how we try all of us (even the people who passed geometry) cannot seem to make a big enough circle. We have somewhere around 30 people (give or take) eating in our 'circle' everyday. with that many people you can't really have a circle and seriously think your going to be able to talk.

But the reason I look forward to this everyday is the conversations. For example, this past week there were four of us standing and talking. But it was weird because Josh and Brad were at diagonals to each other and were talking and Sara and I were talking. Brad and Josh started speaking in Spanish, so Sara and I decided to annoy the two of them and speak in French. We did and miracle of miracles Josh got annoyed and left. But it doesn't stop there. we have Brad's puns to look forward to, the funny stories we share and the awkward moments when someone intrudes on a conversation in a really weird place. We also have the movie quoting session (courtesy of Josh who memorizes movies) and so many other wonderful things. Is it any wonder why I enjoy lunch so much?

But I don't think it's the meal so much as the people. I am blessed with very good friends and you can't blame me for wanting to see them everyday(I quite honestly wouldn't want to see them all the time, because we'd all get on each other's nerves.) But it's a nice reprieve to see them every day and to just laugh.

I love my friends. To have friends like that is special. We don't judge each other, well, I can't vouch for anyone else but I know I don't. We sit down and we laugh, we joke and we humiliate each other (some of the things people do . . .) But in the end we're all still friends, it's a miracle some days. The other miracle is that we're all so very different. Some of us are studious, some of us are big flirts, some of us are just bubbly and always happy. yet we're all friends.

Lunch is my favorite part of the day. it's absolutely wonderful each day to sit down, to talk and to laugh. just to laugh and to be ourselves and not be buried in our studies. It's most definitely my favorite part of the day.
