Monologue

I’m not sure exactly what to write. So I’ll start off with Hi my name’s Ashley. So I’ll just write about High School because it’s the first thing that pops into my mine and I can’t think of anything else. I went to a High School called Baruch College Campus High School. Which is exactly an avenue up. I really loved High School. My school was small only 100 people per years so it was about 400 people in the whole school more or less. Probably more. But since it was so small I knew my whole graduating class and even the juniors and sophomores. It was really really small. The only problem with it being small was that news traveled fast. Even the teachers knew about everything. My teachers were gossipers too. Wait, my whole school was pretty much gossipers. But anyways I miss high school it was so much easier. There was last homework and I didn’t really do anything in High school. But in college I actually have to study and I actually have to touch a text book. Which sucks. I miss all my friends because most of my closest friends moved to upstate. And not upstate like Albany which is only about 3 hours away. But upstate like Ithaca which is 6 hours away or Syracuse or Binghamton which is so far away. And going up there actually cost sort of a lot and I don’t even have time to visit so the next time I’ll see them is probably thanksgiving break. Which is short. It sucks that I really don’t have time it’s school, studying, and work. If I was back in high school it would just be school which was nothing. Anyways I like Baruch because there are a lot of breaks which I didn’t have in high school where I could sleep or study or whatever…. I don’t know how to end this monologue so I’m done =D.
