On a happier note, I have been surprised at the "tender ages" of some of the Downers. It does my heart good to see all of the younger people on this site who are devoted to reading and Tolkien.

Well, that looks like it was just geared at me... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I think I'm probably the youngest/second youngest/third youngest Downer in history, and I'm a bookworm. That is, when I'm not on the Downs. Which, I am finding, is a quickly decreasing amount of time. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
In school, I also find that I listen mostly to please people, or sometimes, but rather rarely, we have an interesting class, in which case I listen for that. The Downs are different...I have been known to sneak onto the Downs when I'm supposed to be doing homework, being in study hall, being in lunch, being in bed...yeah, you get the gist of it. I also think that at the Downs, it's rmuch better, especially because of all the different sections, not all jumbled up into one big mass, like school. I think that I certainly learn more and have more fun here than at school, where I am sort of quiet, and often find myself almost asleep. Also, there aren't cliques on the Downs. I think. Okay, I'll also admit that right now is one of the times I'm supposed to be doing homework, so I had better minimize this window. I'll post more stuff later...
