The Rut

It's after the holidays. No more religious celebration of your choice, no more excuse to get drunk/make unattainable goal or an attainable goal that one is too lazy to accomplish. We are entering the rut folks.

The rut is the huge block of time where absolutely nothing happens. This block of time consists from January to Spring Break. I hate this time. Here is a detailed process of each day.

1. Wake up in the dark at 6:30 A.M
2. Stand in shower, contemplating silly high school problems
3. Drive among the terrible drivers entering the school
4. Walk through the freezing tundra to get inside
5. School
6. Lunch
7. A little more school
8. Leave school as fast as possible, as if there's actually something important to do
9. Arrive home
10. Eat
11. Surf internet
12. Nap
13. Eat some more (they call this dinner)
14. Procrastinate (involves more internet)
15. Cram
16. Sleep
17. Repeat from step 1

During the rut, the days blend and nothing of importance is approaching. This is when teenagers turn to drama to excite their lives (oh wait, they ALWAYS do that). There is no cure, you can't control time. You just have to power through till Spring Break. After Spring Break there's another pattern, but we call that Apathy.
