That's right, I have nearly no spare time, I wake up, get ready for school, eat, go to school, get home from school, do homework, check up on message boards and the news for an hour or so, and then go to bed. I've only been in school for a few weeks and already I've had homework nearly every single night, and with it being my Senior year of high school, it can only increase.
The first couple of weeks I was sleep deprived due to insomnia, likely due to anxiety over school work, and having to wake up at 5:30, school starts at 7:30 or so, and we only have a 30 minute lunch break, then school lasts until 2:45 or so.
And then there's the ignorance that can be found in some of my peers, I mean I have a class on Ancient and Medieval History, which where we're doing a project on civilizations, and because the teacher wisely put Rome and Greece off limits because they would be too easy, I was asked, and suggested Carthage to someone, who then had no clue who that was, and when I mentioned Hannibal, he asked if that was the guy who ate people. For crying out loud, how can people be ignorant of a figure like Hannibal? How can I, even when I was sleep deprived, be the only one who cares?
I have the feeling that this is going to be a very long year...
