bitter...sweet...?

Hello, all

The school year of 2007-2008 is finally over. More importantly, Rachel's junior year is over. feelings? bittersweet...? no. just sweet. I don't understand how ANYONE could feel bitter after finishing a treacherous year of school. Sure, the seniors are leaving for college and summer means not being able to see friends every day and, for study-holics like Jacqueline Liu, not being able to study something.

But friends! The "sweet" really does overcome the "bitter." Summer means laboring under the globally warmed sun, sweating profusely, cramming AP Lit and AP Gov homework, not having a job and therefore being broke, not having a driver's license, starting on college apps, studying for SATs, studying for De Anza classes, gaining weight, getting dumber, being abandoned by both mothers, turning into a recluse, and ultimately, failing at life.

so, I lie. feelings are now just bitter.
