I was too tired to pay attention to my boring lectures, so I reverted back to my old habit for a second and doodled quite a rebellious piece of work.
So yes about my "old habit" during elementary school: I was so bored by the same old and monotonous lessons that I would just draw, saying to myself "I may not be looking at the teacher but I'm still listening" (yeah right). Once during third grade, the teacher caught me drawing a rat and she took it away (I remember complaining to her because "I wasn't finished with it"), brought me out to the hall and threatened to send me back to kindergarten if I wouldn't stop drawing. Then she had a meeting with my mother about it. I remember when she and I walked out of the school that night. I was feeling pretty scared because I didn't want to go back to kindergarten over a stupid drawing. But I also laughed because my mom was holding that same drawing with a dreamily confused face.
Oh' but don't worry, my third grade teacher took it all back after being given a drawing of a light house (I was a sucker like that). Then the story of her focus challenged student kind of changed...

If I were a shape-shifter
If I were a shape-shifter, would I want to take the form of all the animals in the world? Would I want to take the form of all whom I touch (even the lamp post)? Would I want to take the shape of one animal like Beorn the skin-changer? And dance with others like myself? Would I want to want to never be my own original shape, and hide it like the basilisk?
Of course not! I'd choose non of those things if I were to be a shape-shifter.
If I were a shape-shifter, I'd wish to take the form of a monster of my own creation. A monster so unique, I'd love only to dance with myself. A monster that would make the man rocking on his chair on his porch nearly fall off and say to himself "What on earth was that! I ain't never seen anything of the like!" A creature that may reflect a little of myself though. A bit of innocence and majestic love in my eyes, but with the counterpart of a fierce power. That's what I would choose if I were a shape-shifter.
