falling forward

Oct 20, 2006 13:27

Tired. Fatigued. Exhausted. Drained. Me. They've all pretty much meant the same thing lately.

School's a full time job. They keep us locked up in classrooms for about 9 hours a day then load us with projects to help us pass the rest of our time.

Classes actually don't seem like time well-spent anymore. Class time would probably be put to better use if the teachers just gave us the time off to work on all our projects. Math and Physics are really the only classes where you can be sure you learn something every lesson. Otherwise, the day is full of no-brainer classes. Some of that time should be spent for nap time.

I wish school still had nap time.

Remember that?

We'd all bring our blankies, find a spot on the floor and doze off for a little bit. I miss that.

I hardly get any sleep anymore. 5 full hours a day is an achievement now. I can feel my eyes crusting. My breathing's shallow. I lose my balance. I trip on my feet. I can't even stand straight.

It feels like everything's in a blind rush. You're trying to move, think, and type fast. All the time. Jumping from one job to the next. Like a clown in some screwed up juggling act. Sometimes you just wanna drop the balls. You're in a blind flurry. Things are zooming by. You're running forward, but you don't even see where you're going. You just hope you won't trip. And you hope that if you do, you'll still be able to pick yourself up.

I wonder how much longer this will go on.

Don't you?
