Ahhhh. Those were the days, sipping ice cold lemonade sitting under an umbrella at the beach on a hot summer day. Sleeping way past my alarm clock and into the afternoon with no regrets. Hanging with my pals anytime I please. Having barely any responsibilities to get agitated over.

Well, all that changed on September 1 when I was given a double dose of cold cruel reality. Next thing I know I live by the clock. I must wake up at a certain time and go to sleep at a certain time. My life is now regulated to the shortest milisecond. The responsibilities are piling up in the form of homework. Ohh, I can’t wait until next summer.
