My Mistake

It's 7:45 and I'm just wasting some time on the internet. Writing a comment on my blog actually. All my classes were over. David and Katrina both teach night classes on Fridays. I don't start until next week. A 13 year old kid. Haven't seen him yet, but apparently he speaks fairly fluently.

I'm thinking about dinner. Should I leave and go get something to eat now? Or wait and get pizza with K and D? What should I write on this comment? Should I reply on my blog or on theirs? What is the proper internet protocol? Of course if I replied on their blog, they'd probably be happier. But then there are hanging conversations all over the internet. Little trails of nonsense. Well that's kinda interesting actually...

"Nathan?"

...like a treasure hunt.

"Yeah?"

I swiveled my chair around, Katrina was leaning in the doorway of the teacher's room.

"There is a boy sitting in MIT (our classrooms are all Ivy League schools). He has a CNN 4 book. He said he doesn't know who his teacher is. Said he's new here."

"Uhh."

"You sure your class doesn't start until next week?"

"Well I thought..."

"And he said his class starts at 7:30."

I open my folder and out falls a CNN 4 book and teacher's guide.

"Crap."
