Summer Sadness

Failing a class during the regular school year leads to the necessity of attending to summer school. At Poly we have the liberty of not wearing uniforms but for the rest of the other High Schools I wish to remind the students that in the month of July the weather average is above 80 .

In the summer you will have to wake up early, trade bikinis for notebooks, sweat instead of tan, hold pencils instead of ice cream, and show up to a classroom where even the staff doesn’t want to be there. For more than two hours every weekday in a one month period surrounded by four very interesting walls covered by a ceiling that has over 3,000 tiny holes, you will be missing out on awesome adventures that your friends will never forget like enjoying the aesthetic of fun outdoor places, the waves at the beaches, poolside parties, camping, and traveling.

The horror is not only for students but also for the teachers who may or may not put up with cranky, disrespectful, and dull teenagers. Just to let you know, the clock will not gain speed if you keep looking at it. And lastly, by taking your struggling course more seriously during the semester, attending school during your three months of freedom could have been avoided.
