So these are the facts:

It’s second semester; senior year. It’s about to be the fifth six weeks ( just one six weeks away from the glorious days of prom, senior awards and gradutation). Tests, projects, quizzes, home work and all other kinds of assignments are still coming at me and continue to pile up.

While I can’t vouch for my peers, it seems as though I’m working just as hard as I did last semester.

And frankly, I’d really like to know one thing: what’s up with that?

It’s not that I’m this total slacker with no daily agenda or future goals in life, but let’s face it, I’m one of the many seniors who has gone through four stressful, trying, fun, dissapointing and rewarding years at CHS.  

In other words, I’m more than ready to just take a breather and take it easy.

While I’ll admit, there were definitely “school nights” when I could go to the movies, the mall or just hang out with friends, there were also nights that resembled the rigor of previous years.

Maybe it’s because the months of January and February are filled with dreary, bitter days with nothing really going and a lack of scheduled days off from school, or maybe it’s because I have a really, really bad case of “senioritis” and can’t wait to throw my graduation cap in the air, but whatever the reason, I’m ready for school work to come to a slow so I can truly and fully enjoy my last months of high school.
