Christmas Break

Christmas Break, the two weeks that make the rest of the entire school year worth the melodramatic whining of another semester. Two weeks where laziness, boredom, and a total lack of plans is considered acceptable and parents don't freak b/c of the aforementioned qualities. A magical span of time where all the dreams of hw and school ceasing to exist occur. Regardless of whether a person spends his time working, sleeping, or changing his plans every other minute this is my last Christmas break @ Faith and it is a little melancholy (though I know everyone else is attempting to forget) I've lost sleep this last week b/c of the fact that I think in the back of my mind I know that though all of my friends will deeply treasure (hint of sarcasm) the time we spend together everyone is thinking of scattering at the end of another semester. College dreams, and hopes are finally going to be fulfilled and we will never be together so much as we are during this semester. After graduation we will never sit together in homeroom @ the top of the bleachers @ the peak of our high school career. We will never again be @ this point in time with all of our dreams and hopes spread before us waiting to be acted upon. This sounds a little pathetic (considering that I can't wait as much as the next person) but after we are handed our diplomas we won't ever be able to go back to the simplicity of life in high school with only hw to worry about, and debating the varying extent of our drama with one another.
At the same time we can escape the often cruel atmosphere of a private high school life. We are finally making our own decisions no parents to hold our hands @ every step but they are still available for interrogation about tax forms, money issues, and if needed housing problems. WE never again have to listen to the same people gripe aobut the same problems. Never have to attend school every day from 7:55-3:16 five days a week. Our life is finally going to be in our hands with the freedom to choose. How to dress, when we can go places, when to be back, when to do our hw (if @ all), what to eat, when to eat it. The choices are endless. This is the threshold to our life, NOW. Life up to this point is about preparation, and though some of the future will still include preparation and learning we are done. and totally fed up with the system to this point. (right?) Now, what to do. . . ?
Anything worth taking seriously is worth making fun of

A day without sunshine is like, night.
