I never had to choose my subject-Leah Noble

Fears: waiting too long to do the things that I really want/need to do in life
Annoyances: when someone starts talking to me during my favorite/most intense part of a song I am listening to; people who stop in the middle of the hall
Accomplishments: teaching myself to play guitar
Confusions: why everyone is so obsessed with Ebola right now
Sorrows: not being more outgoing
Dreams: to have a career that I love, but one that allows me to not be completely consumed by it
Idiosyncrasies: sorting my Skittles by color and eating them in a certain order
Risks: going on roller coasters that go upside down
Beloved Possessions (now and then): my special blanket and stuffed animals (then), my guitar and tablet (now)
Problems: figuring out how to do well on an AP Chem. test; handling awkward social situations

I'm not exactly sure why this annoys me as much as it does, but people who stop in the middle of the hall to talk to friends drive me up a wall. First of all, why are you standing around talking to your friends when you are supposed to being going to class? No wonder we have a problem with people being tardy. Second of all, if you are going to choose to spend your five minutes between class to talk to your friends, why do you choose to do it in the middle of the orange hall intersection? To me, it is just common courtesy to not block a place where people walk and if you do choose to do so, you, as I have learned, move out of the way to allow others to easily pass and continue on to where they are going. But this is not the case at Henry Clay. People stand in blobs of 6-10 and make it very difficult for the other 2300 people in the school to get to class. Maybe it's just me, but I find it very annoying when I am walking at a fairly quick pace and have to all of a sudden slow down in order to wait for everyone to converge into one sliver of space next to the wall in order to get past those standing around, oblivious to the fact that they are holding up the rest of the school while they have their 5 minute social party.
