Today, I'm lucky enough to write about whatever I want. I'm sitting here...and thinking. Still thinking. Thinking harder. Thinking deeply and then ouch! I realized, I'm absolutely sick of thinking!
After coming back from spring break, I really thought my senioritis would improve. NOPE! If anything, it's gotten terribly worse! Last night, I was sitting there trying to study for my AP Calc test which I am fortunate enough to be taking in two days. I'm sitting there thinking and stressing. Stressing and thinking. What's the second derivative of this equation? Am I supposed to plug in the x coordinates to find where the graph is increasing and it's local maximum? My brain goes into instant cramp mode. It's screaming at me " WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! PUT DOWN THE MATH PACKET AND STEP AWAY FROM THE CALCULATOR. THIS HURTS. STOP PUTTING ME IN PAIN PLEASEEEE RAISA. I'VE BEEN GOOD TO YOU. I HELP AMUSE YOU, I MAKE SURE YOU DON'T LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT SHOES ON, I STEER YOU AWAY FROM BAD DECISIONS...MOST OF THE TIME. WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME? I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS!"
Now, I'm a girl that tends to listen to her better judgement....most of the time. I dropped the packet down and went outside. Guess what happened? I instantly felt better. I have four weeks left. I honestly don't care anymore. I really don't. Am I going to be going home tonight and doing homework? Ha! I'm going to go and play bar league softball with my friend! These four weeks are dragging on unbelievably slow and I don't know if I can survive. Do you know Madison, LAX, and Oshkosh get done in about two weeks? Two stinkin' weeks time while I'm sitting here rotting in a plastic chair listening to talk about a market economy. My life really looks good right about now.
I've come to the conclusion that after AP and placement testing, I will be set. The biggest stress in my life will be not tripping up when I accept my diploma. From there, it's clear sailing and tanning. Hello summer, I've missed you so!
I absolutely LOVE this post! I feel the exact same way. I love how you and your brain really have some intense conversations! Unfortunately for me I have to do all of my homework still, otherwise I can't go to golf. Don't be stressing too much, you don't want to get any wrinkles on that doll face of yours! HAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy this post. It seems like this is happening to everyone around school. I feel the same way though. Everything is getting harder and focusing is becoming much more challenging for everyone, including myself. I also love how you include humor in this piece. :)
