My Perception of Time.

Isn't it funny how nothing ever seems to turn out how you want it to? My summer has been flying by and I am approaching the start of school painfully soon. As my summer concludes, I can't help but ask myself what it was that I wanted to get out of the summer. Well, a break from school first of all. Aside from the extra rest and none of the work, it didn't fail to stick in my mind that I only had 12 weeks until school started, then 11, 10. . . . now its only 2 weeks away. What happened?

What else did I want to do this summer? Well I went to Washington, D.C. like I planned, worked about 30 hours a week, stayed up late, slept in, and still somehow found time to fulfill my hobbies. School, for me at least, has always felt like it is just a burden. Last year was very awkward for me socially, so maybe that's what I'm not looking forward to. Everyone says it will be better because my all my friends will be going to the same school as me this year. I guess we will have to wait and see.

The work. Everyone says education is so important. I'm all for the gaining of more knowledge, but what about knowledge that matters to me? I understand the math, the literature, the social studies, because those are apparently what we need to know to be accepted in society. Yet somehow all my talents involve nothing I have learned in school. They don't teach creativity in school, they don't teach social skills, yet somehow those are some of the most important things you need to have in order to succeed.

Creativity is my best outlet, and I hope I will be more accepted because of that.
