Ugh.. Yeah my high school's like that too. It just annoys me how all the rich kids are popular because they have money so everyone thinks they're some sort of a celebrity. I mean who cares that they drive an Escalade, their parents own 2 BMWs, a Lexus, a yocht, and their tee-shirts cost 40 dollars a piece. That just means that their grandparents were rich enough to send their parents to college so that they could get a good job. If everyone had enough money to go to an elite college then being rich wouldn't seem like such an accomplishment.

Oh, and "Caretaker's cottage", haha I love that. Your dad's a funny man.
