Open Day

Running around frantically from brick building to brick building, we finally found the right room. The words ‘first choice’ and ‘insurance’ vibrated through the theatre as other parents (all except from mine) sat already equipped with pen and paper, to make notes. As if it was them making life decisions.
Another droning voice emanated from the front, making me tune out once again. How could words be so boring? The lecturer shot me a warning look as my parents found a crude word in the lecturer’s slides and snorted in full view of everyone.
I wouldn’t be coming here again.
