I miss it. I truly do. I miss the innocence. I miss the bliss. I miss the simplicity. I miss not knowing. I miss not having to worry. I miss not being up till the wee hours of the next morning. I miss this thing called a social life. I miss my friends. I miss being able to be done. I miss not having a To-Do List that's stretches beyond how long the day trod. I miss having free time. I miss the petty assignments I looked down on and called busy work that I always managed to finish in class. I miss the days when I could honestly look my mother in the eye and say "I finished my homework" or "I don't have any homework today" instead of, like today, where the house quiets till I am the only one up with no hope of sleep until tomorrow.
Being a senior isn't all it's cracked up to be, expecially not if you go the AP/honors track.
Here it is the fourth week of school and I
- have about or more then 5 hours of homework a night
- have an association with two clubs each of which requires an hour after school
- have to apply for as many colleges as I can think of (not the fastest thing in the world)
- have to apply to 2,000 more scholarships than colleges (varries upon how to apply)
- have to get SOME sleep
- have to eat
- have mutual
- have soccer
- have sibling events I must attend
- have... no time
In sumation, there isn't a whole lot of time left in the day, if any. So to those who read this blog and are not in high school here's my advice: have fun now because it only gets worse.
