quarantine = vacation?

Wow, and the first week back, is over. Jeez, that went by rather quickly wouldn't you agree? Well, it certainly did for me. 

You see, I inquired my English teacher about vaccinations today and she mentioned that she was getting hers at the end of the month. Some of my other teachers have already taken it. This leads me to think this worldwide threat is going to be neutralized soon. Hope has already presented itself before us, so I think it's about time we come out of our shells too. You know, I think one day, I'll look back on the time we spent seemingly "stranded" in our homes and think, wow, what a very long vacation I had LOL. 

I mean, if I'm being frank, online school and virtual classes are not even half as tiring as real ones. Just take my math class as an example, it's literally a free period for me. Except for quizzes and assessments, that is. Other than that, the stuff he talks about is too easy for me when I'm at this level. And, I really don't mean to say this in an arrogant manner, but I think I'm capable of acing this class without even going to the actual classes. If we're talking honestly here though, what's the point of the teacher going over the basics with us? Rama, Beam, and some other kids too have already surpassed this level of difficulty a long time ago. So as of the moment, there is no challenge to face. Nothing to overcome. Nowhere to grow. 

I might talk to the teacher about this some time but I doubt he'll change his whole lesson plan for just a few of us. After all, there are still lots of kids in the class who actually ARE struggling with the course, so he can't just up the level for all of us without taking into consideration the thoughts of those students. However, I also don't think it's fair that we all have to keep on being kept at the same level. We come to school to learn, right? What's the point in coming if we know everything? 

Sigh, okay, school wasn't too interesting today. I didn't exactly do anything to stand out either though. I guess, it was just one of those days where you're there, but it's like you're not. I should talk more. Mhm, yea that would be nice wouldn't it? I'll have to improve on that aspect then. 

Oh my time is up. Have a great weekend guys!
