Wait...we have a test today?

So it's finally spring. This was always the time when the upper class men started complaining about senioritis. Back in my naive days, I could never understand what they were complaining about. Now that I'm a senior I am personally feeling it full force.
The first sign that started showing was my lack of ambition to do any homework at all. Now that sign probably started showing up around the beginning of the year. But as the year goes on and G day approaches, it's getting harder for me to even open my bag at night. And even when i get it open it takes a lot of effort to take my books out.
Another sign that senioritis is in full effect is the fact that it is getting very hard to pay attention in class. I rarely could tell you what went on during class because I am so out of focus. Especially the classes where i sit near windows. The nice weather just fuels that fire that is my negligence towards school. This also means that I do less work in class which then just adds to the problem of not wanting to do homework.
The last sign I am going to talk about is probably my parents less favorite. In all three years before this one I have only gotten in trouble and received a detention once my freshman year. This year in the last month or so, I have received two detentions within two weeks of each other. While I feel I shouldn't have received either of these punishments, it just shows that I am full of senioritis and just want to be done with school.
So when people ask me if I have senioritis I regretfully reply, "Yes I do." Back when I was younger, I never thought I would ever complain about it. But as the end of high school is fast approaching, I have been hit hard by this disease that all kids will eventually catch. The fact that I have my college plans finally decided just ads to the necessity for school to be over. But until that day, I guess I will just have to fight through the pain.

  2. I like that you have kindly dubbed Graduation as "G-day." It makes it sound like it is looming before you with more force or anxiety than a typical event. Almost there!
