For this month’s issue everyone has taken up the figurative rant baton, so I have decided to sit this one out.

I personally see no reason to be upset about anything. The Seahawk is still squawking and the freshmen are still blocking, so I am just fine and dandy right now.

So, before my totally not sarcastic bliss runs out, allow me to add some variety by joyfully extolling something that South Lakes does a great job of.

In November, I happily discussed my fondness of homework over holiday breaks. I have since fallen deeper in love with holiday homework as I find that I fancy writing essays over spending time with my own mother.

However, the faculty here at South Lakes always manages to elevate my already high spirits.

Recently, I had an IA in one subject a test in another subject and reading logs for yet another subject all due on the same day.

Having varying coursework all scheduled for one due date seems like an escalating trend with teachers of varying subjects. On numerous occasions I have heard many of my peers lividly curse the establishment of corresponding due dates.

I remain ecstatic, because to me homework is like a scrumptious plate of snails, but to common folk, scrambling to submit a load of assignments in synchronization is a seemingly insurmountable task.

In this technological society, one wonders why there seems to be such an error in communication between teachers. If I am working on a project with a friend, I call him to find out what he plans to contribute so that we have a simply fantabulous end product.

The same should go for teachers. Their goal is to get the best work out of us, but how can we achieve this when they all want it at the same time?

There should be some kind of sacred teacher calendar by the pool on the roof, where each department chair outlines big assignments that they plan to commission to their young scholars. This would create better communication.

Anyway, I of course am speaking on the behalf of my miserable peers who currently file through the hallways like zombies.

This stage of my scholarly advancement is much too short so I figure if high school is a highway then I want to get stuck in as much traffic as possible.
