Did I do that?
I was sitting in journalism today, when that prickly feeling started climbing up my back, making my arm hairs stand up and sending an all-too noticeable flush to my face. Once again, I had forgotten to do something for class. Namely, this blog.
This is surprising, since I was a model of efficiency last night. I thought I had finished everything; I even did some things that weren’t even due today. Which is rare for a senior (like me!).
However, despite my fourth-quarter senior status (which, in my book, makes me impervious to homework), I’m swamped. Instead of slacking off, my homework is picking up.
Apparently every teacher I have thinks that other teachers aren’t giving us homework (because we’re seniors I guess), so they feel they have the duty to fill those gaping empty times in our days with something.
Unfortunately, with soccer practice, games, socializing (very important for seniors), finalizing college decisions, Rotary meetings, and summer job-hunting, I don’t have any free time in the day.
Also, I no longer have the energy or the brainpower to do, or remember, my homework. I’m starting to sink. Luckily there are only four more weeks of school to suffer through before my brain goes kaput.
