There was this private school that I
00:00:01
really wanted to go to when I was a
00:00:03
kid but it was too expensive and so a
00:00:05
one year I made my mom buy me like a
00:00:08
green polo shirt like they wore in the
00:00:10
khaki skirt. And I would get dressed up
00:00:13
in the morning in my uniform with shoes
00:00:16
and
00:00:17
I had like my desk on one wall and then
00:00:20
my dresser on the opposite wall.
00:00:23
My desk was the classroom and the
00:00:24
dresser was my locker.
00:00:26
So I would like do a subject and then
00:00:29
get up and like take three turns around
00:00:31
the room to get to my locker and get my
00:00:33
next book and then circle back to my
00:00:36
classroom and I like made a student ID
00:00:39
and I would like record morning
00:00:41
announcements on my phone like it was
00:00:43
really sad. I just wanted to chime in to
00:00:45
say like I think I'm not laughing at you
00:00:48

00:00:50
