Class

The word "class" can mean so many different things....Webster's defines it as:
1.
a number of persons or things regarded as forming a group by reason of common attributes, characteristics, qualities, or traits; kind; sort: a class of objects used in daily living.
2.
a group of students meeting regularly to study a subject under the guidance of a teacher: The class had arrived on time for the lecture.
7.
a social stratum sharing basic economic, political, or cultural characteristics, and having the same social position: Artisans form a distinct class in some societies.
8.
the system of dividing society; caste.
9.
social rank, esp. high rank.
10.the members of a given group in society, regarded as a single entity.

To say that someone is not in the same "class" as you can be a negative connotation, while maybe the speaker is meaning the classroom setting. I am actually skipping class right now because I have a massive headache and just don't want to be in there--our speaker is making my headache worse. Do I feel bad about it? Yes and no. Yes because I said I had a doctor's appointment, which I should go get my knee checked out, it's been hurting...No because if I don't want to go, I shouldn't HAVE to--I'm not in high school anymore, my mom can't MAKE me go. Plus, the only times I've missed this class were when I was legit sick.

Sometimes I wonder...Where I've been...Who I am....Do I fit in? Make believin'...Is hard alone...Out here...On my own... <3
