School?

I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to spring break. I’m not going anywhere or doing anything too special but I just cant wait to get out of school. This entire semester has taken a lifetime, and we are only half way through it!! The school day drags on and on and on. Each week is like a month and each month is like year.
The first semester went totally fine for me. I was completely focused, did all my work, never slacked off, and didn’t really have a problem with being at school. Well after we came back from winter break it has just gone downhill. It is not because of the new classes I have now. It is simply, well, school. I cant stand it anymore. And to make myself feel even better, I remind myself that I have another quarter plus another whole year.
The getting up so early, the homework, the studying, the teachers, the people you have to put up with at school. It is exhausting. I asked a couple teachers why they became teachers. Seriously, why would you want to come back to school. One teacher told me it is completely different when you’re a teacher. But I don’t see how? You still have to put up with the kids, do work, and deal with going to school everyday. The only good answer I found when asking this question was from Dykstra. He said we get summers off. Plain and simple (he also added he loves teaching literature but he has to say that).
Things that really bug me are days like today. The bomb threat. Really? We have to get our bags checked like we are all criminals and I’m surprised they let us leave for lunch. Last year we were on complete lockdown. It’s ridiculous. I realize they have to do it and its for our safety but for real, I don’t enjoy taking twenty minutes waiting in line just to get into the school.
School is just annoying me lately. I really am not sure how I am going to put up with it another year. After this year I’ll come back from summer break and be good for the first semester, then drag through the second. All I can say is, I hope college will be different.
