I have a bench in the Cathedral of Learning that I always sit on. Nowhere is ever there because it is very out of place. It is directly in front of a cold window, it is not close to any classrooms, and it is rather uncomfortable. The Cathedral is always so busy that I like having a place that I know will always be mine. At least, I think that is why I like it.
It is as out of place as I am here. I am not a college student; I am still technically a high school senior. Yet, I do not enter the high school at all anymore, and I take all my classes at Pitt. This is apparently something that no one has ever done before at Franklin. I suppose that should make me feel special but all it really says is there is absolutely no one who I can relate to.
A couple weeks ago one of my guy friends was complaining about all the drama that occurs in high school. I replied, "Well, it will be over soon and you won't have to deal with such annoying people. In college, I can go through an entire week without talking to anyone since I just attend lectures." Lucky, he said. Yes, I suppose I am lucky. Though this kind of luck is awfully lonely.
