School makes me nicer.
I don't know what it is, but it's true: I am a nicer person at school than I am at home. The longer I am away from Oregon, the more easily provoked I am by the stupidity of people and things around me. I realized this today when I started bashing on the newspaper with my dad, then followed that up with some rants about ridiculous commercials. I haven't ranted this much in a day since back in September.
I doubt this is a good thing. I should be able to be nice—well, as nice as possible—all year round. What is it about school that does this? Am I exposed to more stupidity at home, what with watching TV more often and reading the local newspaper? Am I not spending enough time with my friends here, causing me to ache for solid social interaction? Am I just in a better mood in general at school?
This is something I will have to ponder.
