Chris McCandless At KO(2nd Blogpost)

The siren sounds. And they are off. The kids start booking it at 100 miles an hour. Quick as lightning. KO is a definite leading team, no question. And I, sit on the bleachers anticipating the runners next moves. Its only been a little bit since I have come to KO and its an immediate change. As I finish watching the KO Track Meet(my kind of sport) I gaze off into the distance and recall my time here so far. First of all, the kids are snotty rich kids. They are smart no doubt, but they seem a bit arrogant for my taste. The part that I find most painful is the amount of social interaction that I have to do. The teachers expect frequent conversation and it becomes a quick, cumbersome task. I make an effort to keep my conversations very short. To avoid much unwanted confrontation. The part I find more irritating is the daily routine of the students. They relive the sequence of events. Day after day. This school allows for no expression with their dress code, thus suppressing the expression of kids. I loathe society for doing this to the kids. KO celebrates the much deserved victory. I jog over to the crowd surrounding the team. I start to walk over back to Kingswood Oxford. I walk into Roberts and wait to leave this school. One day closer to leaving. I feel like I am wasting my time here. It's not worth all the effort all these kids put in. Wasting. That's a major theme to this school. Everyday I see these kids waste their resources. Some kids slack off in their sports and completely disregard the people trying to make the children work harder. These kids slack off in class and waste their teacher's time and effort. Even the kids waste their food in the cafeteria. It sickens me to see the kids completely waste the givens of typical society! This school is very confusing. One thing is for sure, the second I am allowed to leave, I am sprinting right out of that door. My ride finally showed up. It's time to mark this day off my calendar.
