( I wanted to get this posted on the third, but I was too lazy and I needed a break from school…)
Enter Summer, It is here as of today. I am finally free from the world of hallways,lockers,books and essays for a little bit more or less of 13 weeks. I am free of the trubbles and stressors that school brings for 13 whole weeks. I can’t even begin to explain how I feel to be free of all of that.
Simply, shcool was a bore and it still is a bore to me. It isn’t that the classes are too simple, or that the people adore me, its not that. It is just the asspect of waking up at the early morning hours trying to get a handhold on things before the time to leave home and to return those very bleak 8 hours later. We think of home while we are away, we try to find happeness in our morning meal, (that most of us skip or don’t eat at all) let it be that child like cereal, that we all enjoyed eating, or even the sweet desert-like pastery that I find myself indulging on some mornings, but most of all, here on our journey to school, the majority of my fellow students enjoy fried, greasy sometimes pleasing fast food breakfast. Does it pass off as food? Can it be trusted? Will I eat it? Well, the answer is no. It isn’t food if my egg-mc-fried food is as yellow as the morning sun and my orange juice has so much acid that it can break a litmus test. But by now, we have found our way to school with about 5 minutes to rush to our lockers, transfer our stuff from backpack to locker, and run our way to class.
When where there, we have to focus, (well, you don’t have to, but I always do) but if you don’t, you will fail that pop quiz that the teacher has planned for the next class. Classes in genral, is just the teacher talking in front of a board teaching us things that they think that we will learn. For example, do you really think that I will need to know the trig functions, what they do, why I need them and how they work? Yes, that is important. But do you think that I will need them in 6 years? I might. Not everything that you learn in class you will take with you in that life tool box, most you end up forgetting anyway. Example, think back to second grade or around that time. Do you recall any of that? I guess that you can think about your friends and all of that, but do you you recall the English lessons? I didn’t think so. But hey, you have been thinking all of these things and then class is over. Your done! (for the day that is) and you have to go do it again next in about 5 minutes.
I’m not going to talk about lunch break that much. Lunch means that you have the time away from teachers that is good. The bad part for me is finding a place to sit. Everyone at my school is grouped into who they hang with, who lives by them, what race they are and so on. But for me I have no group whatsoever. I’m kind of that kid who is a “freak” the kid that people don’t really understand the kid who has the “pointed bracelets” and that “Strange hair” but I really don’t care. I do get laughed at pointed at , things thrown at me and that does make me mad. But hey, I’m sure that everyone else gets driven crazy by their teachers also.
So, all of your classes are done for the day, and you do have homework due, so what do you do? Go home and forget about the life you had for those 12 hours or so before you have to go back. If it means, going out with friends to a place that you like, playing music, getting on the internet, playing a sport, whatever it may be, get your mind off of school until the next day and please get a good night sleep and don’t forget, we will do it again everyday unitl school is out!
