B Day!

U.S.H.H. Today you had a lecture, took a quiz AND took a test. You did it all without complaining and I'm proud of you. As for AP HUGE...

AP Huge Today for the first time I have begun to feel my age. Each morning the sun rises a little later and sets a little earlier. My emotions are just soap bubbles floating over grass. It only takes one blade of unruly greenery to burst my rainbow skin. Today AP Human you were that blade. Tonight I will put away my youthful distractions and take out a yard chair. I will sit in my driveway and shout at kids and call the police about too many skateboarders. I am old and the weight of it pushes my shoulders downward. and all I see reflected back at me from the puddles that collect from the rain of my despair, is the vision of a man who has seen too much and accomplished too little. I just wanted your life to be more successful than mine so I put out my hand to pull you up and instead you pulled me down. How many trips to the bathroom can a soul endure? How many yawns? I have seen the future and I am only a spectator. I will leave no footprints as I have no impact. You, my hope for a better future are rushing into the great responsibility of age without guidance, not because it wasn't offered but because you spurned it. I would weep for the future but my tears are too precious to waste on a world that rejects the hope it is handed. Oh, and you'll be having a really hard vocabulary TEST on Thursday and I'll collect all the vocabulary you started with the sub. So yeah...
