school takes so much out of me. if i'm not worrying about tests, then it's progress reports... or report cards... or a new project... or homework. a kid needs a break every once in a while. if it's not school stressing me out, its my parents stressing out about school FOR me. i'm never good enough for them. i'm ranked 3rd in my class and to them, i'm an idiot. i don't want to go to rice university. i'd love it if they'd let ME decide what i wanted to do with my life. they can only hold on to me for so long... you know those times when you're swimming and you start running outta air... and you try to surface but find out that it's farther than you thought it was? i'm still waiting to find my surface and breathe.
