School blues

And so it arrives, the final day of the freedom that was February half term. All my work has been done, my room is tidy, my school bag is packed; all I need to do now is laze around in bed watching Big Bang Theory re-runs until I fall asleep some time before 8 o'clock.

... Which is what I would be saying, if I indeed was one of those people who gets their work done at a sensible pace and doesn't leave everything until the final Sunday before returning to school.
As it stands, I have one analytical English essay to start and complete, a French essay, half a novel to finish, a debate to learn (see previous) and a play to edit. Oh, first-world teenage problems, how you make me weep.

I think it's a pretty universal fact that across the country, that at this moment there are of thousands of teenage rebels cramming in a weeks worth of coursework today. Fellow slackers, I salute you. Good luck.

So that's what is pissing me off today - schoolwork. And the cesspit of unfinished essays into which I have sunk, drowning in all the stinking French irregular verbs and rotting Victorian stereotypes that were imposed upon women. I would rather shoot myself at point-blank range with a paintball gun filled with pooballs than drag myself from my laptop to do work. But we move on.

Pooballs.

I may survive to blog another day. Then again, perhaps not.
