There are only twenty three days left of my high school career and so far I have not been showing up on time. I have a bad case of senioritis. I am ready to leave school and turkey season just came in so my sights are set on that. Turkey season is only good for the first week so my job is to take as much time as I need. I still catch up on my classes, but turkey hunting is so early in the morning that I only miss two periods.  Senioritis is contagious because I believe that half of the senior class is not even here.

Kids in my class are ready to leave high school and go into the real world. Some of those students can just be lazy and this will show after graduation. I do not have to come to school, but I choose to. I already get out at 1:15 every day, but my classes are still important. I want to fight to the end and work hard because I will never get this experience again.

Not only for turkey season, I come into school late to go to the gym. I do not like waking up every morning to go to the gym at 5:00. This is very exhausting and I find myself sleeping in my classes. There is no point in being in school if I am going to sleep. I can do this at my house. Waking up early makes me lag each day it goes on. I have woken up at 4:30 each morning for the past five days and I just need that one day to get some rest. I am not blowing off school because I still come and I still make good grades.

Senioritis is the reason that some kids fail. With coming to school late it allows me to still get the work that I need done as apposed of missing the entire day. Senioritis is a big thing in this school and some students are not even seniors. This plague is spreading around fast and there is no cure.
