Dear Electra,
This Valentine's Day craze is figuratively driving me into a wall. It's nearly impossible to escape from it. From Facebook to high school.
"WHO IS YOUR VALENTINE?" A Buzzfeed quiz pops up in my news feed. I click 'hide from wall' automatically.
"Oh, my gosh. I need a boyfriend at this moment." I hear a girl whine as I walk to my maths class. I silently remind myself never to act like that girl. Ever.
After all of this chaos, I retreat to my bedroom and read Kathy Reich's books in the bare silence with the laptop off and my blanket keeping me warm and snug. Ah, it feels good to be alone after the Valentine's Day apocalypse.
Today my class and two other year nine classes went on a field trip to the local lake for a lake safety programme.I wonder why the school allowed us to visit the beach since the weather was cold and mundane, and the chance of catching hypothermia was high.
Us year nines were separated so one-half swam in the chilly lake while the other fraction trudged down a two-hour long bushwalk. Out of the two activities, I'd say that swimming was better since we had the chance to kayak around the capacious and beautiful lake. No matter the obstacles, we all enjoyed the day and each other's company.
With sincere affection,
- M ★
