High Functioning. Low Maintenance

I can’t get my brain to stop thinking

I often joke about being educated by nuns, or learning to write and nun-point, but I am very well educated (some would say “over-educated”. ) My seventh grade teacher taught us a few poems that I remember as clearly as if she were standing next to me, humming slightly as she herded a bunch of 12 year olds through a Catholic Education. She taught us, “The Highway Man” by Alfred Noyes; for this one she galloped through the classroom, twitching her habit out of her way. She also taught us “The World is Too Much With Us” by William Wordsworth.

High Functioning. Low Maintenance

99% percentile in brain power (really, I’ve been tested). Teacher, writer, performer, cat herder.
