Get me out

I pretty much agree with Sarah. I'm a junior in high school (was in public school during elementary and middle school, private during high school) and yeah it sucks. Actually, I did somewhat enjoy middle school - more of a playful atmosphere.
I'm a pretty good student (in the 90's) but hopefully I'll be able to go to college next year with a regents diploma. Jeez, I learn more in a weekend from reading than from what I learn in a month of school. I hardly remember anything about Ancient Rome that we talked about in school last year, but I do know a good amount of information about the intracicies of society, daily life, city planning, and imports/exports from "Ceasar III" - a computer game. And if a topic, such as biology, bores you to death, what are you going to remember about it besides the fact that the whole year felt like some kind of drunken blur? And what happened to the Bill of Rights? Are they waivered inside of school property? And do you know how much planning I would have to do if I just wanted to take a day off? Ever since I started high school, I've been thinking of ways to get out of high school.
