Crazy?
What is crazy?
Am I Crazy?
…
*Cries*
”Just make it go away!”
“What?”
”IT!!!!”
Maybe…
But,
School caused it.
“What is it?!”
”My home work!”
”… Will you calm down? Gosh!”
I am alone now…
In my own little world…
Crazy?
Yes.
I’d call it that.
*Falls onto her pillow and cries herself to sleep.*

Umm... maybe if you didn't do the entire pre-calc Honors assignment, that wouldn't happen...(educated guess) considering it was optional...

Gee, thanks, Mango.

If you define crazy as deviating from the perceived "normal" state of mind, I'd say we're all some level of insane here.

Submitted by glazwrites on January 17, 2008 - 16:31.

This is so true for me. I am always soooo stressed out about my homework. I get all As and I am in some Honors classes and homework stresses me out because I try to do it so well. I wish teachers didn't give us so many projects.

Today I just got finished with midterms so I am relieved.

What school do you go to? I go to Rice.
