A Rant and Some Observations

I love my creative writing class this semester, mostly because I'd never write anything otherwise.  Only, on Wednesday we got assigned seats.  Normally, I wouldn't mind this, but my new seat is surrounded completely (guy to my left, guy to my right, guy in front of me) of people who smell quite pungently of marijuana.  I really, really dislike the smell, and it's so hard to concentrate.  My mom suggested I ask to move seats, but how do I even do that?  I mean, going up and saying, "Excuse me, but can I change seats?  The area in the back of the room reeks of weed."  I don't think that would go over well.  Since that class, the smell hasn't been THAT bad, but I still don't like it.  I guess I'll just suck it up, I guess.
On a different note, I was just noticing all the differences from middle school and high school.  Probably the most noticeable is the differences in the way relationships work.  Like, back in middle school it was just like someone saying 'Um, well, I was wondering if you'd go out with, like, me, if y'know, you want to...', but in high school it's so different.  Like, in high school you can sit on your guy friends lap if there isn't a comfortable chair in after school activities.  While in middle school this is totally taboo, in high school not only is it perfectly acceptable by the teachers, but it also doesn't involve having a relationship with the person at all.  The longer I'm in high school, the more I like it...so much more fun ^.^  
The last thing I have to say is that I'm getting better at playing my role in the one act (girly, bitchy, and slutty/flirty).  Now that I'm getting the hang of it, it's a really fun role to play.  No wonder the girly girls always seem so happy.   I don't think I could act like that in real life for any extended period of time.  I mean, sometimes I'm girly, and more than often I can be bitchy, and I am occasionally flirty (not slutty though), but I could never be all three all the time.  It would be exhausting!  How do the girls do it?
Anyhoo, if you read what I write on here comment, please!

I know what you are talking about. There is this one girl who just randomly sits in my lap, and no we are not dating. *le gasp* I know.
