In 9 days I will wake up at 7, not 12.
In 9 days I will take the bus to school, not the mall or the movies.
In 9 days I will meet the people I hate, not the people I enjoyed my summer with.
In 9 days I will have to listen to the same old boring PA announcement, not the rock stations on the radio.
In 9 days I will have to do homework, not sleep.
In 9 days I will be bored, not having fun.
In 9 days I will be in school.

In 9 days, I will probably be doing much the same as usual.
In 9 days, I will be happy that I no longer have to see my sister, at least for four months. [obligatory big-sister family utterance] I guess I’ll miss her, though. [/obligatory big-sister family utterance]

In not too long I’m a senior… Then I can start counting down the number of days until I can get the hell out of here.

Sweetie. Help me out here. What is the theory about going back to school _so early_ this year. It seems to be an epidemic. Do they get out in May? Am I missing something?
