The Post That Went Awry

This started out as a simple and everyday post about the upcoming school year. I had planned on writing a couple of paragraphs explaining my ambivalence about starting up school again, but as I sat, wracking my brain for an interesting way to present my opinions, a traditional list was manufactured in my head. Determining after all that this list was the best way to illustrate my views, I posted it here.

Pros to the start of the school year:

• Alleviation of sheer boredom
• Seeing friends I haven't seen all summer
• Being more Active
• Football Games
• New paper smell
• New clothes
• Knowing that the winter-clothes-season approaches more rapidly than before
• Feeling accomplished
• All the good shows come back on
• I'll have more to blog about (Mom should be excited about that one)
• Knowing that I will soon be able to decipher an entire book in French
• Getting to use my backpack, instead of a purse
• My handwriting will once again be legible (it's gotten pretty rusty due to disuse for the past couple months)

Cons:

• Having to dredge myself out of my peaceful slumber every morning before the crack of dawn
• Once again receiving astronomical amounts of homework
• Being faced with the dilemma of either using bathrooms that naturally repel all living things, or using no bathroom at all
• Always being tired
• Being forced to read uninteresting things that prove useless to me in every sense
• Watching the hours waste away while I slave laboriously over math homework
• Sitting all day in a building that is always either painfully cold or dreadfully hot
