We try to find time to relax and enjoy moments with friends as much as we can before everything piles up again. So we're sitting in the cafeteria enjoying our lunch or just chatting with friends, catching up with the latest news around, like George Tagle and Joe Gardea, when, what's that we hear? The bell tell- ing us to get ready for class. The rush starts again. Bumps and trips occur. Excuses and 'sorries' are heard. They just never seem to end down these halls. And the activities at lunch are going to be a part of all of us for a little while longer. T PEERPOlNT:Luci Domiguez speaks out: The best thing about lunch is during the Homecoming week activities. lt's really great how people show their Parkland spirit. Halls and Cafeterial15 a

Lunch is hecticg We eat and run Time? Students never seem to have enough of it. The halls and the cafeteria are full of excited but busy students. Both are places for rendezvous with friends and books. Each student has a place in mind to go and that makes a great number of destina- tions unknown. You'll find some students doing homework while having lunch in the cafeteria because they had to study for a test during breakfast because they had a sports practice or a club meeting to attend the day before, like Alex Hinojos. lt seems that there just isn't enough time for everything that needs to be done. Some of us may relax for now but the work that is put off, catches up on us so that we'll be needing more time to get things finished. Sure, we make schedules, set up appointments, or sacrifice certain things to give ourselves space. This may work from time to time, but not always. 14lHalls and Cafeteria
