Vacation Vacation Vacation!!!

Woooo! I have to say that vacation is my favorite part of school. My teachers tend to get lazy during the last few days before vacation begins. They know that all of us are antsy and bubbly and excited for our February break so they don't even try to teach us anything new. Instead, they put on a movie and pray to God that it stimulates our minds long enough for us to be out of their hands and onto the bus home for the next week. Some teachers, like my Polish chemistry teacher who thinks American kids are not challenged enough and hates kids (so her career choice makes a lot of sense), will squeeze tests and quizzes into our last few days before temporary freedom. There are also teachers who assign rather large, lengthy, and tedious projects into our single week of what is supposed to consist of sleeping until noon and hanging out with friends. I have a research paper, an english project, and a lab report all due when I get back to school along with a hefty set of tests and exams. I'm not complaining about the amount of homework or anything, but I think someone needs to clue them in on the concept of a "Vacation."
