Back to school...again

Well all I can say is "here we go again." School starts this Tuesday. Oh joy...NOT!!! Getting up at 6:00AM. is going to be hell. I would say to look on the bright side but there isn't really a bright side to look at. sure school has it's pros and cons, but there are more cons than pros. I mean who in there right mind wants to get up when it is still dark out! Oh well I guess all we students can do is try to get through the day and the disorganized mobs that stampede through the halls trying to get from place to place and class to class before there passing time runs out. Just as a side note near the end of this post there will be a few lines of text from a book I read. And I find what is said in the text from the book to be very accurate. Well like I said before, "Here we go again."
