The following is a conversation I had today with my freshman year math teacher. It basically sums up my angst lately:

Mr. Walor: So, we're not doing drama anymore Mr. Gori?

Me: Nope, not this play. I want to go see it though. Right now I'm just trying to hang in there with school. I thought the work was going to slow down, but actually it's picking up.

Mr. Walor: Well, what do ya want? To lay in the pastures all day with the cows?

Me: Uh, yeah...--

Mr. Walor: --Well, that's not the way things work aroud here.
