HA! Je blague. Such an emo title. Ok, maybe it's slightly true. I'm getting into the swing of things, which I suppose you could consider adjusting. Junior year is everything I thought it would be. The fast pace, the harsh grades, the unending work. What can you do? Just go with the flow I suppose. Don't let your head go underwater. Just keep swimming. And all those fun water metaphors. But in all seriousness, there is not a day that I don't enter the front door to my school without feeling another bit of myself being lost. Hours are spent sitting in desks, scribbling notes that I probably won't look at until 5 minutes before a test. More hours are wasted at home, sitting at my desk or in my bed, trying to get all the homework done so that perhaps there would be time for sleep. Or at least time to live. I write this as I am supposed to be writing a document analysis for AP American History. A fascinating class, yes, but is it worth the work assigned for it? And did I ever have any interest in American History to begin with? Honestly though, I like learning. I wouldn't mind school quite as much if it weren't for the tests, quizzes, and homework. And of course grades. The stress that culminates from all the education makes my head ache. Losing sleep is worth a shot at a decent future I suppose. |
