  8. Love "incredulous marathoners" and the idea of cozying up to a "manic popularity contest" – it's tough trying to be everything to everyone. Nicely done!

  10. I have felt this way...and never fail to feel this way every time there is something going on at school. UGH. Probably why I tend to keep a low profile and avoid those hallowed halls at all costs. Great piece and analogy!
