That is exactly what it is like to work there. How you feel now, is very very similiar to what I felt last year, and this year. You should write a novel about your time at our school, I would DEFINTELY read it! See you tomorrow!<BR/>ThompsonKThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07414553810655418757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678256575394536796.post-38235503548303526532008-04-18T14:03:00.000-07:002008-04-18T14:03:00.000-07:00I love the images of mist people and solidness. ...I love the images of mist people and solidness.
