Dread

All day today (and unfortunately for the past couple days), the only thing on my mind was the approaching days of school. Every once in a while I would tell myself "Wow. I can't even believe I will be in school in [insert number here] days. Break went by too fast." Then, tonight, as I once again dwelled on the fact that at 6:30 a.m. tomorrow I will not be sleeping as I have been for the past 2 weeks, but I will be dragging myself out of bed and getting myself ready for school, I remembered the homework I have due tomorrow. Calc. Bio. English. Wait.. I thought it was called a break? Guess not. So, I logged in to Blogger, ready to make a comment and find another topic to blog about. After reading Henry Gilbert's blog (shout out!), I felt comforted by the fact that I wasn't the only person suffering week after week to think of an interesting, English-related blog topic. At the end of his blog, he wrote about indirectly characterizing himself. This got me thinking. Sure, I can indirectly characterize myself, but I would not be nearly as critical as us AP English 12-ers are when we do this to characters from our books. From my actions, I would indirectly characterize myself as a pessimist. Since Wednesday, I have have the dreaded feelings that come with the return to school after break. Why would I let this ruin my break? I still had FIVE days. It is completely ridiculous that I couldn't put the negative aside and enjoy sleeping in, no school work, and lazy days. Even though that may seem harsh, I don't think it's 1/10 as bad as the nasty things we harsh out to poor Gogol, Ashima, or almost any character in The Namesake. So, I'd like to open the floor to my fellow mean, cruel, loathsome, classmates. How would you indirectly characterize my behavior? Please, do your worst.
