First Day of HS.

[lukethedrifter]

She turned 14 today. First day of HS at new school district. School went on lockdown due to an armed robbery less than a block away. Crazy.

Mostly this is about what's in store for her/me over the next four years.

Fastest four years.

My kid is off to middle school. She's going to have to find a way to get her "getting ready" time downscaled.

one of my (black) friends (for you soc) daughters started HS today. hard to believe. i hated it. well, freshman, sophomore adn junior year. senior was ok.

My kid can still walk to school (goes with a group). It's double the distance as her former elementary school walk. But still, having it so close that it's part of our everyday life, is a great thing for her/us in a lot of ways.

It is same distance to walk to HS in a few years, but I suspect she'll forget to use how to use her legs to walk there, like our elder kid.

my high school, washburn rural (aaron crows too!), is way out in the sticks. i have wondered if my life (personality) would be different if i was a block away and could just walk to school. in like a john hughes movie or something. probably not.
