I was just bumping along in Drama class, when suddenly, I hear about your cowardice with relation to the kind folks in the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, the people on the four flights, Muslims, Arabs, Afghans, humanity, and everyone else who stand for decency in this world.
That was mistake number one.
Fortunately, by blind luck, my uncle wasn’t in the WTC when the slimy blobs of dingos’-kidneys had to massacre innocent civillians. Luckily, although I grieve along with the rest of decent human beings, I wasn’t “personally” affected.
Now I am.
For the past FOUR YEARS I have been waiting for the oppertunity to go to Italy with my school Latin Club. I have been saving up my meager income for quite a while, and have had to do yard work many-a-Saturday instead of doing something fun. Now, because of you heaps of chicken gristle, the Superintendent has decided to CANCEL ALL TRIPS OVERSEAS. I wasn’t going to let you and your artichoke-brained cohorts destroy my year.
To let you stop my travel is to admit defeat.
Unfortunately, in the interests of “safety,” I no longer have the oppertunity.
It is now personal. You have wasted almost a solid MONTH of my time in preparation for a trip that the entire school has been waiting for.
You make me sick, you bloody pieces of moldy slime.
Soup_du_jour, are you a senior? Have you still got the money you saved?
If the answer to both those questions is “yes,” then I think you should consider your trip postponed, not cancelled. You may have to wait until after graduation to go to Italy. But you are definitely going. It will take some planning, but (psst!) it’ll also be more fun than a school trip. Trust me.
If you don’t want to go alone (or your parents don’t want you to go alone), some of your classmates are probably in the same situation, so get together with them and pool your resources. But go.
Next summer is packed, and I’m planning to go to a college out-of-state, so the logistics of getting the scattered minions to agree to a trip overseas is almost impossible.
Darn. I really wanted to see the House of Caeciluis.
At least I have college to look foreward to. If I go where I want to, going overseas is like going across the block.
Sorry, but can you please explain the last comment? Are you saying that if you get into your college of choice, then going overseas will be like going across the block? Must be a pretty cool college. Y
So it spoiled your trip to Italy, which has you more upset than 6,000 people being killed in New York and Washington.
If they bring back the draft, I hope your name is the first on the list.
