As School Wears On

Well school wears on, its grisly grasp pulling us all in. It’s amazing how fast school has been moving, you can hardly tell we’ve been going at it for almost a term. By now most of us have all settled into all of our classes. Though we sometimes hear of those who aren’t quite happy about their own schedules. We have all had a few funny moments in our different classes from Mr. Thompson telling us about the tiny faculty men’s room to Mrs. Vanvleet’s sixth period humor. All of us have also already had our own truckload of home work. I know for a fact that the Munnses have been loaded down with tons of it. Our (the Munnses’) kitchen table has also probably been put under more stress than it should have to bear in 200 years! All of us around this time are most likely doing our blogs for the week, or blogging on the discussion questions. (Have you guys seen Hannah Hendricks’s avatar?) Some of the blogs are really decked out, like Nicole Ly’s, hers is really decked out. Although Brady’s is kind of pimped too, his has a cool video on it. Although Honors English isn’t the only class that we are all taking, we all have to take Science and Math for what seems the rest of our lives after they changes the qualifications and make us take another year of each. Besides our day to day classes we all probably have extra- curricular groups we’re in. Some of us are in Science Olympiad, others volleyball, some NAL and others. Just the other day we were all finding out if we mad Olympiad and NAL. Good job to all those who gave it a try. It is a lot of work to get to try out on either team, from all of the paper work to two hour tests on a computer, to dressing up for interviews. And now we can look at all of that as the easy part as we all have another year of training ahead. And many of us will be juggling this around with already busy schedules. For some it will be many sleepless nights followed by packed days just to accomplish what they love. Most will notice all of the schools’ students go into overdrive for the next three terms. A lot of parents will probably start to worry about their kids, as they always do. But for the most part we will all settle into a routine and turn into a sort of homework robot. All of the teachers’ minds will tune out complaints of pain and worry and just lay on more homework. They will all consider it a privilege to torture us, that is until they have to grade it all. Hopefully though we will all, teachers and students, be able to wear out yet another year and be able to look back on it without distaste. Though most will find that difficult we will all have to face years that will wear a lot more.

Haha. Mrs. Van Vleet's sixth period isn't that horrible. I mean they do have me! Lol. Just kidding.

Another year in life of the Falcons. Haha. Crazy. I can't believe I'm going to have time for any of this.

I can't believe YOU'RE going to have time for any of this. :P
