There are many things I don't understand about High School. This may seem silly, but it kind of bothers me. Teachers, adults, etc., go on and on about how high school students need to get 8 hours of sleep, minimum, for maximum function. Yet, the time that school starts is before any sane person is awake. Not only that, teachers talk about having a well rounded high school life. Yet, they pile on the homework like there is no tomorrow. How in the world are we supposed to participate in extracurriculars, let alone have any semblance of a social life, not to mention the proper amount of sleep, with that much to do? Can anyone explain that to me?
I guess this all stems from the fact that I have play rehearsal nearly everyday after school (not that I mind, in fact, I quite enjoy it) and have to arrange everything around that. For instance, Drivers Ed. I've been waiting ages to get out on the road and finally earn that shiny new piece of plastic in my hand. At last, I have scheduled a time to drive with the instructor. But, because of my frequent and lengthy extracurriculars, have to show up at the school at 5:45 in the morning, and be awake enough to focus on the road and not hit any roaming pedestrians, or other automotive objects. I tell you, I would not survive the week if it weren't for Vyvanse (the medicine I take for ADD). Hallelujah, and praise modern medicine!
Things aren't all bad in the deep pit they call a learning facility. Some things are indeed quite nice. What, exactly, escapes me. But, I promise, they are there... Somewhere.
Well, shalom. Thanks for letting me rant (like you had a choice).
