Homework Overload
You won't believe how much homework I have to make up after vacation. First, there was a math test that I hadn't even gotten any information about, so I was given about a dozen review sheets to practice the skills my class learned.
Then we had done a ton of work on the unit about India in our Social Studies class while I was gone, and had a lot of catching up to do.
Finally there was a science research project that I needed to catch up on. On Thursday, when I got back from vacation, I hadn't even started my research and the ROUGH DRAFT WAS DUE TOMORROW! Miss Coe said that I was no exception to this because she had warned me to start my research on vacation. Then, out of nowhere, tears started to flow down my face. Miss Coe just didn't understand. How could I get all of that done by tomorrow? I had to go outside the classroom until I was ready to stop crying. But the overload of homework wasn't the main reason I was crying. I was really crying for Alex. I cried for the entire period, saying to myself, "Why can't Alex be here? Why can't he come back? Why?"
That was the first time I ever broke down for Alex in class. Now I just know that things will continue to get worse until I find Alex or commit suicide. I hope I can get to the light first.
Ciao for Now, from nervous wreck,
