terms

term one is the term where everyone gets back into the swing of things.. getting used to going back to school.. catching up on the holiday gossip.. finding out the teachers' weakness... re-learning how to eat in class without being caught... that kind of thing.. you're glad when the holidays come, though, because you just remembered why you're forced to go to school [yep, that's right, you've gotta STUDY]..

term two is the term where everyone totally slacks off and every day is a drag because you know you have to heave yourself out of bed and make your way to school.. the weather's also getting colder, so all you wanna do is stay home and sleep..

term three is the term that passes the fastest.. even though the weather is bloody cold and the teachers are making you work extra hard because your semester one reports were a total let-down... you get tired of seeing the same people day after day and you can't wait for the holidays when you can sleep in and bum around all day... and then it's suddenly gone, just like that, you're into your holidays and term three is dead...

term four - a part of you looks forward to it because at least you'll have SOMETHING to do instead of just hanging around the house [OK, maybe not].. but by the time term four comes around, you suddenly have a revelation... term four is going to be JUST LIKE THE LAST THREE so to hell with it... who can be stuffed writing all those book reports and making the stupid posters.. the idea of seven weeks without having to put on the damn school uniform appeals to you like rain in the sahara... you start counting down... nine more weeks... 60 more days... 1440 more hours... and then finally... FINALLY... you can chuck away your science books and burn your S+E notes...

so the hols arrive and you appreciate just how good life can be... no school until next year... ah~ NEXT YEAR??? oh crapp...
YEAR TEN...
