Just trying to blend in with the locals: High school is not like the musical..

People don't sing in the corridors, I didn't meet anyone who resembled Sharpay Evans, and i definitely did not meet Zac Efron.

This Friday i decided to surprise one of my cousins with an impromptu visit to her school. Her name is Hannah, and she is currently a Beet Digger down at Jordan High School. I got to visit with her in an anatomy class, where i got to meet a wonderful teacher called Mr. Peterson. I got to go with her to her Weight-Lifting class and I even got to go to a ballroom class. (Seriously, these are classes and this is exactly why we all think Americans are stupid.)
Coming from a country with a much stricter and regimented school system, I find High School rather interesting. My only experience of it is what i've seen in the media, and really is school actually a combination of 90210, High School Musical and Ferris Bueller's day off? The answer is no. It's much less cool than that, it actually is just a school. Students have to study, they have friends, they complain but mostly they just try and get through the day so they can do whatever it is they would rather be doing.
