    Well it's started. It's on the news, it's in cermicals. Walk into a store and there's back to school sign's every where. Look though the paper and it's back to school, back to school again themes.
    Whats this doing to the kids like me that need to get away form school?! Dont get me wrong, a month and a half hearing about no school is great but when my summer vaction still has a little more then half way to go and now I'm going to hear about school the rest of the time. It scuks.

    No and... No. School sucks, that's all. And our school is so damn ghetto they didn't even give us a *list* of school supplies, so we have to go out and buy our own crap.

    No school isn't cool. And when you are at school you also think school is not cool. You discover how cool school is at the moment you left school.

    You also get reminded how god damn bored you are when school is out. You wake up, you have the next 18 hours on your hands with no school to fill the 8 hours. It's booooooooring. Just because I hate school while in school and I love school when I'm not in school doesn't mean I'll admit that I'd rather take my time getting school supplies...

    I'm actually anxious for this school year, it's my last year of high school, which means, I get to go to university in two years! Woohoo! The crappy thing, is that for most of my first year I'm gonna have to get my parents or an 18-year old friend to sign stuff, as I won't be a legal adult yet... :hahaerr:

    [​IMG] School isn't that bad. After working during the summer holidays, I'll surely appreciate the quiet of the classroom.(aah religion, so boring, so sleepstimulating)

    [​IMG] Nobody says the following...

    “...Even though he hasn’t learned anything useable besides the difficulties of GPA-threatening
    busy work in his entire school experience, the teachers get paid huge amounts to whine about
    how much they get paid. That’s because most of them are under-qualified retardations of a long-
    ago-useful system, who lack both the minds and personalities to combat against possible
    nonconformity to the American society base, and have been babysitting since they went to school
    themselves, which makes them so good at their job, which gives them the ability to whine for
    more money in the name of young minds (which they, themselves, pollute frequently with laziness
    and laziness-bribed easy standards of learning), which, ultimately, makes them greedy bastards
    like most of the people involved in education (which is the reason it started in the first place,
    which is a long, long time ago just after overpopulation began and people began to necessitize
    generalization). Man’s best chunk of life is drawn and quartered by a brainwashing sermon from
    an aging offspring of American tax dollars day after day after day, and this system has grown too
    powerful to stop, so no one tries. The smarter of the students find themselves being conformed
    into special niches and daily routines which are easy for the teachers to make money from, and
    most of these kids kill themselves before twenty years. No payment for those who live is given,
    except for the premonition of future payment (which happens whether or not busy work is
    finished successfully, simply in degree of greediness), and America grows to have smarter, more
    taxed people every year...”

    Ready for school.

    Summer is boring.

    Must come back to school.

    Then I'll beg for life to speed up to Winter Break.

    It's a twisted cycle.
