Just a question.
We spend, oh, between 8 and 9 months out of the year in school, once you take away perhaps a month of days off/winter break/spring break/etc. Then we have 3 straight months of no school, in the hottest part of the year, during which we mainly sit around the house like slugs. Of course, that may just be my family, but it seems to be many of my friends as well. About 2 weeks into this we start getting bored. By the time school returns, some people are actually ready for it. That or they just feel like they wasted the entire thing.
That's kind of how I'm feeling right now. Over a month in, and I've done a grand nothing this summer. Nothing. I feel like a complete waste of space. it's ridiculous. Who spends their summer without having at least one dramatic escapade?
I could be crazy, of course. It's possible. Maybe even likely. But I'm curious: Why don't we, I don't know...have half a month less of summer, and spread it throughout the year? Have two months of summer, and have three day weekends? Have 2-week vacations spread throughout the entire year?
Logic doesn't play a role in determining school issues, I think.
