Senior Year

So as the days wind down and graduation gets closer, my "senioritis" seems to become somewhat disease-like. The symptoms have also grown stronger to the point that being at school becomes an almost painful experience. I've found it nearly impossible to commit myself to spending the entire day enclosed in classroom after classroom until it's finally 2:41 when I get into my car and floor it as far away from school as I possibly can.
When a teacher hands out an assignment and expects the student to "give it their all", I have to sit for a second and wonder if my teachers attempting to make a humorlessness practical joke, or if they're actually expecting us to complete it. As a teacher, you cannot honestly expect a student with two weeks of high school left to actually care about doing their work. To me, it seems rather inhumane to do that to a poor child. Fortunately, though, there is a cure for senioritis called graduation. For this, I can hardly wait.

  1. I am also experiencing these same "symptoms". I want to finish off the school year on a good note, but it just feels almost impossible. I've just kind of lost it the past few weeks and want to get out of school and as far away from it as I possibly can.
