Blog #16: Bye Bye Bye

AP English this past year has been a lot of work. I think it's a lot of work I can do if all I had going on in my life was school work, but I do so much more than that outside of school. I have a job, I'm in all the plays, I'm Yearbook Editor, I'm a WyldLife Leader at Beaumont Middle School and I'm Senior Class Treasurer. That's a lot to take on on top of AP classes. For the most part I've done really well throughout my years in high school. Even first semester of senior year I did decently in most of my classes, but the work load in AP English was just too much for me to handle. As soon as senioritis kicked in second semester, and it is a real thing I promise, I was just down for the count in AP English. I just couldn't do it anymore. My grades this semsester went down the drain. I was too lazy and I couldn't force myself to do anything. I think this happens to a lot of seniors and not just myself though so I don't even feel that bad. Over the years my mom has kept pretty good track of my grades, making sure I was always turning in things and whatnot. This year she slacked some too and at this point she doesn't care anymore because she can't make me care. She just told me the other day "I won't even look at your grades again as long as you don't fail one." Which if I don't turn in missing things in AP English and do well on whatever else we have left of this year, then I actually might. I guess the moral of my story is that I should have known I would have been really busy and fall under senioritis' spell and planned accordingly before this year. Advanced English may or may not have been more my speed just based on those two things. All I know is now, I want to graduate high school like right this second and am really ready to be out of here. Goodbye Dunbar!!!
