I know, I know, you're tired of hearing second semester seniors complain about "senioritis". From someone facing this common struggle myself, let me enlighten you on the true problem with being a senior: I am tired. I am tired of driving down Leesville Road five days a week and stopping at the same stop light at 7:01 in the morning. I am tired of sitting in the same building for seven hours a day, with the same people, the same halls, the same teachers, the same conversations. Quite simply, I am tired. Honestly, I am tired of writing this blog post right now because it is hard for me to find motivation to do my homework when I am constantly bored with school. I sometimes feel bad for admitting these feelings because I know how important education is, but I am not bashing education, I am bashing senior year. Frankly, I love education. The thought of stepping onto the NC State University campus in August makes me so excited I can hardly take it, and there lies the problem. I have so many things to look forward to as I move on to bigger and better things that the thought of driving down Leesville Road tomorrow morning makes me want to curl into a ball and stay there until August. Until then, I guess I'll go read my book about race...

I love the honesty of your post, but don't let that 'Itis get you down. I'm trying to make the subject matter as engaging as I possibly can, so I truly hope you'll find something to link on to. So, when your books come in, I hope to read of your reactions (good, bad, indifferent) there as well. That's the only thing that I didn't see in this post. Otherwise, great start!

I am so happy that you put that into words, because that explains so many of my own feelings!!! I am so sick of the parking lot!
