i wanted to tell him that, no, my head was just really hurting, and i was not stupid. but instead i stood there trying to remember what twenty-five minus nine was. sometimes customers just make you want to yell. who cares if it is two pennies off--you will just lose them inside of your truck.

vay.k.shun. that is how i would spell if i was as stupid as you thought i was. and i would not have a job. and i would not stay up all of the time doing homework. but a vacation is what i could use instead. vacation from the dirty air (it's a'comin' back), the cold, and the schoolandwork part of life. time with God. time in sunshine. time in possibly an oregon place in the world.
