Back Breaking Backpack!

I have made a discovery! My backpack is too heavy! I noticed this when I put it on the front passenger seat in my car and drove to school. The passenger seat has a sensor that monitors the weight (or the person) that is placed on the seat. If the person (or the weight) is 40 pounds or more and the seat belt is not fastened, an annoying alarm will ring for about 2 minutes.

It was during this 2 minutes that I realized that why my back had been hurting for a few weeks. After my discovery, I put my books, papers, and computer into my rolling computer case. The good news is that for the last 2 days, I have not had to take ibuprofen and tylenol every two hours.

It is strange how simple things like carrying a backpack can cause so much back pain!

I am glad you are feeling better. I love your rolling back pack idea. So when people make fun of you for being nerdy, just don't pay any attention to them. Your family loves you, you are getting good grades, and your back doesn't hurt. Who needs pride?
