School

I just don't even know what school is.

It's a bunch of irritated, stressed out teenagers crammed into a building and forced to deal with each other for 6 hours every single day except for Saturdays and Sundays. And on Saturdays and Sundays, said teenagers sleep, and complain about homework.

Granted, school is obviously extremely necessary and helpful in putting us youngsters on our life paths. We need it, no doubt, because we need to leave high school, and go to college, and pick a career path and have successful, fulfilling lives. None of which would we possible without 12 years of education.

I don't even think it's school itself that's so frustrating. It's more my lack of time management and ridiculous tendency to procrastinate more than anyone in the history of ever. And I know it's a big problem and I really have tried to fix it! But it's hard.

I really like CAP. I loved CAP 9, I love the community, the kids, most of the teachers, and the environment. I really think I'd be a different person if it wasn't for CAP, given the size of the school and how many kids really are floating about Blair Blvd. everyday.

Sure, sometimes the work load is extreme and we're up late a lot of nights, but I think us CAP kids are really fortunate to be able to be in such a program, in such an excellent school system. And despite how stressful it can be, school is school.

We're gonna have to deal with it for a really long time, so we might as well make the best of it!
