Why I love school

Despite my school being quite small for a high school, Eynesbury still lives up to the ordinary feel of school. There isn't the social stereotypes like ordinary schools, except the large number of internationals, but like any school, you have the individuals that make up the school.
These include:
The class clowns
The wannabe tanky guys.
The metro kid/s.
The inseperable couple.
The awesome ethnic kid.
The nice, pretty girl
The short, yet dominant girl
The weird kid.
The couple no one wants to see / The overuse of PDA couple.
The emo kid that everyone secretly loves.
The gal pals.
The 'laugh at everything' guys.
The stoner/s.
The ridiculously tall guy
The loud girl.
The very loud girl.
The annoying girls
The barely straight guy.
The guy who thinks they is super popular and hangs out with the grade above them, but secretly no one really likes them..... x2 (kent can probably name them)
The loners.
The social slut / socialite
The 'Aussie' *other ethnic group: asian, wog, black*
The downie
The dropkicks
Technically, we have the nerds, but I think that can be said for everyone at our school.
The bogans
The douchebags
The awesome teachers
The teachers who are dirtier than their students.
The racist teacher.
The awesome principal.
The kid who is always sick
The over-attached girl who is excessively violent.
The kid who gets picked on.
The sleazes
The hot chick/ group.
The nerdy asian kid.
The nerdy white kid.
The stylish girl/s
The hippie.
The kid who isn't cool enough to hang out with anyone their age so they hang out with kids younger than them
The sweet but diabolical kid
The racist, sexist kid.
The wannabe.
The army kid.
And obviously every school has the pretty, skinny, abstract girl who is super awesome and funny, but could probably beat the crap out of any guy, because she trains... heavily.

And the list goes on. As said before, we may not have a strong social stereotype at our school, like a large group of gangsta asians, or wogs, or not even bogans. We may have singles of each social stereotype, but not enough to boast on the likes of proper highschools. I find this system works, as since there is no social stereotype, people can actually get on with their work. This, coupled with the no uniform makes school endlessly enjoyable. I don't have to deal with the social stereotypes, which I have prided myself on learning their habits, and I don't have to wear pants all-year long. Its a win-win for me.

But as said before, although there is no social stereotype for school, it still entails the average feel of school. Also, since my school is quite small, gossip is easily spreadable. The first few weeks of each semester had so much gossip that I could've been gossip girl... or guy... but it sounds better as girl... OMG, what if Gossip Girl is actually a guy ? PLOT TWIST!
But back onto topic, again, like all schools, we find our rhythm, and gossip dies down quickly.

But this is not what I want to talk about,
Every since moving schools, from Norwood to Eynesbury, I haven't felt completely at school with Eynesbury. Its a very entertaining place and all, and I can easily study now, better than ever, BUT it despite having the feel of school, because of its lack of 'rules' I guess, school is enjoyable. Now, I don't know about you guys, but I treated school with disdain for my previous years in the education system. I went to school, studied, and went home. The routine drove me up-the-wall. The uniforms were quite comfortable, but still stuffy. The school grounds were dodgy, and the fact I had to stay there, even during lunchtimes slightly killed me.
But as I moved to Eynesbury, where I work in a free environment, I honestly feel like what they tell me; A pre-uni school. I'm allowed to leave, if I don't have anymore lessons, I can spend my frees however I want, which is usually studying, but being in town has its perks.
I guess, that moving schools, and environments has made school much more enjoyable. That being said, my penchant for procrastinating whenever possible still stands.

Also, who actually reads my blogs ? Please tell me at school... I really only write them so me and Elisha and perhaps another few people outside of school can see my daily exploits, and laugh. I just want to get a rough estimate on who I actually hook onto the procrastination train. Ahh, I enjoy being a douchebag.
