Birthdays,birth and days... Afraid to say,the lurker that I am, that my attention was caught for a moment on this thread. Seems this newsletter has a lot of teenage watchers, and this topic seemed the time to announce it. Past my 16th and plodding along to my 62nd, sure, I go to a run-down, overcrowded school. In black t-shirts and jeans, honors programs, and earning college credit, I go to my classes. Seems an awful waste of time. Often had to ask myself, "Where did my effort go?" Yeah, I have a job. Yeah, I make minimum wage. Sure, I live with empty, Stradlatian, parents. Enhh, I'm expected to go to college - to get a job.. Does anyone think Holden would've been happy if he'd gone to Colorado?
