People talk about the circle of life. I don't think there is such a thing, but I do see recurring sequences. Such as the enthusiasm for school in a student. By the time August rolls around I can't wait to organize my locker and check off my assignments. I hardly get enough of the teachers' lectures and taking notes is the best past time ever. But each month becomes more and more monotonous. My locker gets messy. The lectures are droning and I get hand cramps from all the writing. School hours grow longer and Monday mornings appear without my permission. When May finally arrives, I hate having a routine. Then, almost too soon, summer arrives. You don't see your friends everyday, like before. Your brain activity drops drastically. Before you know it, you feel lazy and sick of having nothing to do. How many days until school starts?
It's happened to everybody; don't pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about. Unless you've gone to one of those all-year schools. Then you have never experienced this and we should all both pity and envy you.
I love your line "Monday mornings appear without my permission." Sometimes, it seems like life arrives without my permission. Am I going to embrace it and thank God for it, or am I going to resent it and fight and squirm trying to get off of the track. All-year school... all-year job. A good reason to take a vacation or at least some kind of break in the routine. Thanks for your post.
