Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Hello loyal journal readers! ((all .5 of you)) I'm quite excited for this new journal system...although I don't know how to work it. Because I'm BBCode handicapped.

Oh, well....

ANYWAY, thanks to southwest Florida's school districts, today was my first day of summer vacation...and I did nothing. *thumbs up* Well...sort of nothing. But, it was still less eventful than a day of school...unfortunately.

This actually sucks...a lot. Normally during finals week, I can not WAIT for school to be done with. The anticipation of summer vacation eats away at me from the inside out. But this year...not so much. Actually...hardly at ALL. Today felt like Saturday, and for a moment I caught myself wondering if I had any homework I should have been doing.

Stupid me.

What's puzzling, though, is why I feel like this. Many of my friends feel the same way as I do.

Maybe it's because it's finally come to the point where school has become the only life that I've known. I mean, I practically live there, after you add up all the time I hang around after school for what ever reason.
Or, it's because I've been in school so long, that summer vacation doesn't really mean anything. I remember in elementary school how any day off was a HUGE deal. Now, after being in school for eleven years of my life...not so much...and that's something else I can't figure out either. Am I in love with school now? Most likely...at least it provides me daily exercise. Y'know...running from one side of the school to the other and jaunting up and down stairs in order to get to class on time. Now I actually have to go out of my way to have some sort of cardiovascular activity. Sheesh.

Maybe I just don't want to let go...this year has been SOOO much fun. I made some cool new friends and learned a lot of stuff...but it's not like next year isn't going to be any different. I think that's the reason. I think I'm anticipating next year too much. I know I'm going to see all the same people again...and a lot of my teachers again...and I think next year is going to be even better than this year. AND, I'll get to finally drive to school in the fall; I'm so excited.

Yeah, okay...so I'm excited about school and can care less about summer right now.

But I'm sure I'll change my mind in a few days with getting more than 7 and a half hours of sleep at night.

And I know that if I don't milk this vacation for all it's worth, that I'm going to regret it about mid-september. domokun gonk
